Negotiators announce preliminary agreement on Iran nuke program
International negotiators announced the framework for an Iranian nuclear deal Thursday, capping days of exhaustive and tense talks that blew past their original deadline.
The preliminary agreement allows all sides -- the U.S., Iran and five other world powers -- to continue working toward a final agreement by a June 30 deadline.
Speaking in the Rose Garden shortly after negotiators unveiled the plan in Switzerland, President Obama called the agreement a "historic understanding."

Meanwhile they keep grinding away making weapons-grade uranium. The "agreement" "prevents" them from making weapons-grade plutonium, but they aren't even trying to do that, so, so what?
Obama urged Congress to look at the deal. Wonder if expects them to actually approve it? I'm pretty sure they're not going to approve something that is merely a framework for continuing talks.
