Reuters: Exclusive: U.S. lawmakers push ahead on Iran sanctions - senior senator

WNU Editor: With talks on Iran's nuclear program going basically nowhere .... Iran announced today the building of two new reactors .... Rouhani Announces Iran is Building Two New Nuclear Plants (Algemeiner) .... as permitted by the interim agreement signed between the 6-powers and Iran in 2013 .... State Dept: Iran Allowed to Build New Nuclear Reactors (Washington Free Beacon). As to the nuclear talks themselves .... I am not optimistic .... in fact .... I have never been optimistic.The big sticking point has always been inspections, and as long as Iran continues to bar inspectors from conducting unrestricted inspections at suspected nuclear-military sites like Parchin .... these talks will be going nowhere. The following article is a good summary on Iranian nuclear inspections .... How much monitoring of Iranian nuclear facilities is enough? (Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists).
