Republicans are preparing new sanctions against Iran

The Iranian issue will remain one of the most important, not only in foreign, but also in the internal politics of the United States in the near future.

The Republicans, who hold a majority in both houses of Congress, are preparing for Barack Obama another unpleasant surprise: perhaps as early as January, the Conservatives will be able to pass a bill to impose new sanctions against Tehran.

Earlier, in an interview with American radio station NPR,q Obama did not exclude the possibility of opening the US Embassy in Iran. In mid-December, US President announced the beginning of the process of normalizing relations with Cuba, for which he was heavily criticized by many in the Republican Party.
