Obama calls Iran deal 'important first step'

November 24, 2013

President Barack Obama declared an interim nuclear deal with Iran an "important first step" that cuts off the Islamic republic's most likely path toward a bomb. "These are substantial limitations which will help prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon," Obama said at the White House late Saturday. The president spoke shortly after the U.S. and five international partners agreed to a short-term deal with Iran that is aimed at paving the way for a broader agreement to curb Tehran's disputed nuclear program.
