27 September 2017 VIENNA, Reuters, SEPTEMBER 26, 2017 - The U.N. nuclear watchdog’s chief urged major powers on Tuesday to clarify a part of their nuclear deal with Iran dealing with technology that could be used to develop an atom bomb, an area Russia said the agency should leave alone.The 2015 pact between six major powers and Iran restricts its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

BY:RAY  takeyh september 22,2017 resident  Donald Trump  has sensibly insisted that the  Iran nuclear deal —formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action—has to be revised. The reaction in some quarters, mainly among many of the former  Obama administration  officials who negotiated this bad deal, has been horror.

By Heshmat Alavi 18 September 2017 There is a new understanding in Washington over how US President  Donald Trump , set to deliver his first United Nations General Assembly speech tomorrow, can tackle the Iran challenge. It would be wrong to view the conglomerate of  Iran -created crises through a single periscope focusing exclusively on the  nuclear  dilemma. Iran’s meddling in states across the Middle East, its support for terrorists groups including the likes of the Lebanese Hezbollah, the continuous pursuit of ballistic missiles and domestic  human rights violations  are also serious concerns.
