It compels Iran to eliminate higher-enriched uranium stockpiles, stop adding new centrifuges and cease work at a heavy water reactor that potentially could produce plutonium.<\/p>\n<p>The president also acknowledged some tactical differences with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but Obama said U.S. and Israeli bottom-line goals are the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON (AP) &ndash; President Barack Obama says he believes the chances for a comprehensive nuclear agreement with Iran are 50-50 or worse but he says the recent nuclear deal is [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[175],"class_list":{"0":"post-15453","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-nuclear","7":"tag-updated"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
