Iran Measures Up To The Nuclear Deal

Despite another round of drama, Iran is actually meeting the terms of the nuclear deal hammered out in Switzerland last summer by the United States-led P5+1 Group. Iran shipped to Russia nearly its entire fissionable stockpile of over 12 tons of enriched uranium. Iran is mothballing thousands of centrifuges necessary to enrich uranium, and has removed the core of its heavy water reactor at Arak so it can’t produce a plutonium bomb. For this, Iran stands to get back almost $60 billion. Some Iranian citizens will be removed from U.S. government blacklists, Europe will allow trade in software, gold and metals, and transportation equipment, and Iran will be allowed to rejoin the international banking system and sell oil on the open market.

U.S. Soccer Star Carli Lloyd Just Had The Best Week Ever

U.S. Women’s National Team midfielder, Carli Lloyd, who during the 2015 World Cup kicked her way into the record books, has her sights set on a new goal – Olympic gold. Technically, it is an accomplished goal as the national team won last three Olympic soccer tournaments. However, in the history of women’s professional soccer, no team has won the World Cup and followed up with Olympic gold. If there was any wonder who would lead the national team into its new phase after the world’s all-time leading scorer, Abby Wambach, retired last year – look no further than Lloyd. This week, she was voted as the FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year making Lloyd the third American behind Mia Hamm (2001, 2002) and Wambach (2012) to win the prestigious award.
