1. The first paragraph of a news article should answer the questions who, what, where and when. List the who, what, where and when of this news item. (NOTE: The remainder of a news article provides details on the why and/or how.)

2. a) Who is Abbas Araghchi?
b) What did Mr. Araghchi say about Iran's halt of uranium enrichment? Be specific.

3. What do those opposed to the deal with Iran want a permanent agreement to do?

4. a) What does this 6 month agreement call for Iran to do?

6. a) What did Mr. Araghchi say about President Obama's view that there is a 50-50 chance of reaching a final deal with Iran over its nuclear program?
b) The AP reported that "in exchange for sanctions against Iran being lifted, Iran has agreed to halt production of 20 percent enriched uranium, which is just steps away from bomb-making material. Iran will be able to continue enrichment up to 5 percent. It also will eliminate its stockpile of 20 percent enriched uranium."
This is a temporary 6 month deal to allow more time for the U.S. and others to come to a permanent agreement with Iran.
Considering Mr. Araghchi's comments, how likely do you think it is that Iran would really dismantle its nuclear program? (Is it all just talk?) Explain your answer.
