Groan alert.
Secretary of State John Kerry reiterated on Wednesday that Iran is due to get relief from punishing economic sanctions very soon, perhaps in the coming days.
“Implementation day … is going to take place very soon, likely within the next coming days somewhere,” Kerry said during a speech at National Defense University. He was referring to the day under the Iran nuclear agreement under which the International Atomic Energy Agency verifies that Iran has met all the requirements for sanctions relief.
“When it happens, we are convinced it will make us and our partners around the world more safe and secure,” Kerry said, speaking for the Obama administration.
