After winning the Nov. 5 election, the Republicans became the majority party in both the US Senate and the US Congress.
Besides the Republicans, even the ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs, Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) said Nov.23, a day before nuclear deadline, that "Congress will not be satisfied with a bad deal".
Iran and the P5+1 group, including the U.S., France, UK, Russia, China plus Germany, agreed to extend nuclear talks until July 1, 2015 after failing to meet the 24 Nov. deadline on reaching a comprehensive nuclear agreement. The sides also extended the Geneva nuclear deal, which was signed in November 2013 providing Iran with some sanctions relief in exchange for Tehran agreeing to limit certain aspects of its nuclear activities.
The source told IRNA that the country`s nuclear activities will continue based on Geneva nuclear accord in next seven months.
"Iran will keep en on its nuclear research and development plans," he said. The source added that achieving the final nuclear deal between Iran and P5+1 is possible even before July1, 2015.
