“I’d be very happy if there is peace but I’m not very
optimistic,” said a 38-year-old cell phone salesman. “There is fighting all
over the country.”
The center of Hurricane Dorian, a downgraded Category 1
storm as of Friday, is expected to travel northeast over the Atlantic and move
into Nova Scotia by Saturday, the National Hurricane Center said. As of 2 a.m.,
Saturday, Dorian was about 170 miles south-southeast of Nantucket,
Massachusetts, while maximum sustained winds remain near 90 mph, the center
said. In addition. As a monster Category 5, Dorian devastated the Bahamas over
Labor Day weekend with 185-mph winds, killing at least 43 people and leaving
possibly many more dead. It was down to a Category 1 after moving across open
water and its eye hit Cape Hatteras, N.C., on Friday. There, the storm, cited
in four U.S. deaths, left flooding and power outages in its wake.
Iran further rolls back its commitment to nuclear deal
Iran on Saturday further reduced its compliance with the
2015 landmark nuclear deal after a deadline expired for European powers to find
a solution demanded by Iran for its U.S.-sanctions-hit oil industry after the
Trump administration pulled out of the accord. The Atomic Energy Organization
of Iran said the country started injecting uranium gas into advanced
centrifuges and that it will no longer abide by the deal's limits on its
nuclear research and development. The move marks the third time Iran has eroded
its compliance with the agreement. Iran wants European signatories to the
accord to compensate it for its inability to sell its oil abroad and it has
threatened to abandon the deal completely if its conditions are not met. Behrouz
Kamalvandi, spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, said Saturday that
"there is not much time left" to save the deal.
