The 2013 mass surveillance disclosures refer to media reports which revealed operational details of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and its international partners' mass surveillance of foreign nationals and U.S. citizens. Aside from its partnership with federal agencies, the NSA-led surveillance involves extensive cooperation with foreign governments and intelligence agencies of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Germany, the latter classified in NSA documents as being both a partner and a target. Data collected in foreign countries by XKeyscore, for example, have landed directly on "President Obama's desk". Although disclosures of the general scope of the program were made in 2006,[2] a series of articles attracted significant public attention on 6 June 2013, when documents made public by Edward Snowden were first published simultaneously by The Washington Post and The Guardian. These documents included operational details of the "scale of domestic surveillance", according to journalist Glenn Greenwald.[3] Several days later, President Obama reassured the American public that stringent controls placed by the United States Congress and the FISA Court have ensured that "nobody" is listening to the phone calls of U.S. citizens.[4] On 14 June 2013, the main source of these disclosures, Edward Snowden, was formally charged by U.S. federal prosecutors for violating the Espionage Act of 1917 due to his unauthorized communication and theft of government property. Several weeks later, Snowden, who subsequently fled to Russia via Hong Kong, was granted temporary asylum by the Russian government. This contributed to a deterioration of Russia--United States relations. On 6 August, President Obama made a public appearance on national television where he reiterated that "We don't have a domestic spying program" and "There is no spying on Americans".[5] Despite Obama's reassurances, however, social movements such as Restore the Fourth have arisen as a form of protest against mass surveillance. Domestic spying programmes in other countries such as France, the UK, and India have also been brought to light. On the legal front, the EFF joined a coalition of diverse groups filing lawsuits against the NSA. Several human rights organizations have urged the Obama administration not to persecute, but to protect "whistleblower Snowden". These groups include Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Transparency International, and the Index on Censorship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_mass_surveillance_disclosures

Speaking from the Rose Garden, President Obama lays out the details of a historic framework with Iran that will prevent the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon. April 2, 2015.
Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif discussed the framework deal reached by negotiators on Iran's nuclear program.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry addressed the media about the framework deal negotiators reached concerning Iran's nuclear program.
On Thursday, European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and Iran Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif announced that negotiators had reached a framework agreement for an Iran nuclear deal.
"Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses the new nuclear deal between the United States and Iran. Nuclear negotiations have finally been outlined by Iran and the United States and its allies. President Barack Obama went as far as to say 'if Iran cheats, the world will know'. Iran has agreed not to stockpile weapons grade nuclear materials that could be used to make nuclear weapons and in exchange the U.S. and others have agreed to lift sanctions. Secretary of State John Kerry went on to add that the international community would need proof from Iran that it would uphold its end of the deal or sanctions would not be lifted. While nothing is official until the deal is signed the framework is a major step forward in the nuclear talks. The final draft of the deal is due with a deadline of June 30th." Is this enough of a deal with Iran or should there have been more? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

HEATED: 'You Sound Like Obama!' Fox News Hannity Takes on Pat Buchanan Over Iran in Epic Exchange. (Fox News Insider) Sean Hannity tonight clashed with Pat Buchanan over nuclear weapons negotiations with Iran. Hannity said it should be a prerequisite for Iran to stop being a state sponsor of terror and chanting, “Death to America.” Buchanan disagreed, explaining that America has to talk to its enemies. He added that Iran is fighting ISIS, and said he’d rather Iran does it so the U.S. doesn’t have to send Americans. Buchanan also said that he’s not scared of Iran because they don’t have an atomic bomb. Peters: 'Interesting We've Extended Iran Negotiations to April Fools' Day' “Now you sound like Obama, ‘Iran is a tiny country, they’re not a threat.’ You believe that?” Hannity pressed. “Bibi’s sitting on 200 atom bombs, and he’s fretting over Iran, which hasn’t even produced weapons-grade uranium,” Buchanan fired back. Hannity argued that this will create an arms race “the likes of which the world has never seen before.” “Oh, cut it out, Sean!” Buchanan said. Cotton Slams Iran Talks: You Shouldn't Even Negotiate for a Car Like This “Now, you’re putting nuclear weapons in the hands of radical Islamic mullahs,” Hannity said. “You really want that? You don’t see that as a danger?” “The United States could finish off Iran in an afternoon,” Buchanan said. “What are you frightened of, Sean?” Watch the fiery debate above. video footage caught on tape cellphone camera surveillance raw dash cam air live on tv share comment like most popular

President Barack Obama hailed the framework accord to limit Iran’s nuclear program and launched what will be a protracted campaign to sell the deal to the American public and a Republican-led Congress — many members of which have been skeptical or even disdainful of negotiations with Tehran. VOA’s Michael Bowman reports. Originally published at - http://www.voanews.com/media/video/obama-hails-iran-deal-begins-salesmanship/2705122.html
Iran and international powers have reached “solutions on key parameters” of Tehran’s nuclear program following eight-day talks in Switzerland, according to a joint statement issued by the negotiators on Thursday.

"Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses the reactions from various leaders to the new Iran Nuclear Deal. Everyone seems to have something to say about the new Iran Nuclear deal that will see the Iranian government avoiding stockpiling materials that can be used to create nuclear weapons in exchange for the removal of sanctions against the middle eastern country. U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry were mostly positive, promising that the Iranians would have to be transparent in their dealings for the plan to work. Others, such as Israeli cabinet minister for intelligence Yuval Steinitz have claimed that there is no way the Iranians will hold up their end of the deal and that they were still a threat to peace in the region. The final draft of the deal is due on June 30th and Iran and the U.S. and its allies are expected to sign not soon after."

A deal has been reached with Iran on the country's nuclear program, but there are still details that need to be worked out. CNN's Jim Sciutto reports.
There are two big problems with the so-called “fact sheet” describing the curtailing of the Iranian nuke program. They are: inspections of known and unknown sites, and Iran doesn’t have to dismantle any of its nuclear facilities. According to the Obama Administration, there is a so-called “fact sheet” laying out some of the main points describing what the Iranians will give up. Javad Zarif, the Iranian Foreign Minister negotiating the deal, refuted what Obama announced and called what he said “spin.” Zarif tweeted out: “The solutions are good for all, as they stand. . . . There is no need to spin using ‘fact sheets’ so early on.” Reaction to this so-called deal from Israel and newly elected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is very negative. Netanyahu said, “A deal based on this framework would threaten the survival of Israel.” He also said, “It would increase the risks of nuclear proliferation and the risks of a horrific war.” The economy grew at 0% in the first quarter. That is the official number from the Atlanta Fed that came out as a downgrade from the supposed estimated 2.3% growth in the first quarter. Imagine what the number would be if it factored in true inflation? California agribusiness is more than $37 billion annually. Severe drought threatens the tax base and food supply.

Iran (i/ɪˈrɑːn/ or /aɪˈræn/;Persian: ایران [ʔiˈɾɒn] ( listen)), officially the Islamic Republic of Iran (Persian: جمهوری اسلامی ایران Jomhuri-ye Eslāmi-ye Irān), is a country in Southern and Western Asia. The name "Iran", which in Persian means "Land of the Aryans", has been in use natively since the Sassanian era. It came into use internationally in 1935, before which the country was known to the Western world as Persia ( /ˈpɜrʒə/ or /ˈpɜrʃə/). Both "Persia" and "Iran" are used interchangeably in cultural contexts; however, "Iran" is the name used officially in political contexts.
The 18th-largest country in the world in terms of area at 1,648,195 km2 (636,372 sq mi), Iran has a population of around 79 million. It is a country of particular geopolitical significance owing to its location in the Middle East and central Eurasia. Iran is bordered on the north by Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. As Iran is a littoral state of the Caspian Sea, which is an inland sea, Kazakhstan and Russia are also Iran's direct neighbors to the north. Iran is bordered on the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan, on the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, on the west by Iraq and on the northwest by Turkey. Tehran is the capital, the country's largest city and the political, cultural, commercial and industrial center of the nation. Iran is a regional power, and holds an important position in international energy security and world economy as a result of its large reserves of petroleum and natural gas. Iran has the second largest proven natural gas reserves in the world and the fourth largest proven petroleum reserves.
The Republic of Yemen (Arabic: الجمهورية اليمنية al-Jumhūrīyah al-Yamanīyah), commonly known as Yemen i/ˈjɛmən/ (Arabic: اليَمَن al-Yaman), is a country located in Western Asia, occupying the southwestern to southern end of the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the north, the Red Sea to the west, and Oman to the east. Yemen is considered one of the poorest countries in the Arab world. Its capital and largest city is Sana'a. Yemen's territory includes over 200 islands, the largest of which is Socotra, about 415 km (258 mi) to the south of mainland Yemen, off the coast of Somalia. It is the only state in the Arabian Peninsula to have a purely republican form of government. Approximately 53% of Yemenis are Sunnis, while 45% are Zaydi Shias.
One etymology derives Yemen from yamin, meaning "on the right side", as the south is on the right when facing the sunrise. Another derives Yemen from yumn, meaning "felicity", as the region is fertile. The Romans called it Arabia Felix (Happy Arabia) as opposed to Arabia Deserta (Deserted Arabia), which was their term for northern Arabia.
