WASHINGTON Nike Air VaporMax UK , Dec. 19 (Xinhua) -- Some U.S. senators introduced a bill on Thursday that would impose further sanctions on Iran if Tehran fails to comply with an interim deal reached with the world powers last month.

In response, the White House deemed the move "unnecessary" and threatened to veto the bill if it were enacted.

"We don't think it will be enacted. If it were enacted, the president would veto it," White House spokesman Jay Carney said at a daily press briefing.

The prospective sanctions, which are sponsored by 26 senators including chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Robert Menendez, would require the U.S., among others Nike VaporMax UK , to apply additional penalties to parts of Iran's economy including its construction, engineering and mining sectors.

"Current sanctions brought Iran to the negotiating table and a credible threat of future sanctions will require Iran to cooperate and act in good faith at the negotiating table," Menendez said in a statement. "Prospective sanctions will influence Iran's calculus and accelerate that process toward achieving a meaningful diplomatic resolution."

He said the bill would give the Obama administration up to one year "to pursue a diplomatic track resulting in the complete and verifiable termination of Iran's illicit nuclear weapons program," and require that any final deal with Iran end its ability to enrich uranium.

Carney said it is "entirely unnecessary to potentially disrupt or derail diplomacy" because if Iran does not comply with the preliminary agreement or fails to reach a more comprehensive agreement over the course of six months, "we are very confident that we can work with Congress to very quickly pass new, effective sanctions against Iran."

Iran has warned that passing new sanctions would ruin ongoing talks regarding its nuclear program. On Nov. 24, the P5+1 countries http://www.cheapvapormax2019uk.com/ , namely the U.S., Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany, reached an agreement with Iran in Geneva that limits Tehran's nuclear activities in return for eased sanctions by the world powers.

It is not clear if or when the bill could see a vote on the Senate floor. The Obama administration has repeatedly warned against such a bill and Tim Johnson, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee Nike VaporMax UK China Sale , decided to hold off imposing new sanctions on Iran last week.

BAGHDAD, July 17 (Xinhua) -- Fierce clashes between Iraqi security forces and Sunni militant groups continued in several Iraqi provinces on Thursday, as government troops repelled several militant attacks in Salahudin province, security sources said.

Security forces, with military air support, fought back an overnight militant offensive targeting the oil refinery of Baiji, killing dozens of militants Nike VaporMax Shoes UK Sale , a provincial police source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

The troops repelled a separate militant attack in the area, including some who were linked to the al-Qaida offshoot, the Islamic State (IS), on the Camp Speicher military air base north of Tikrit that previously was used by the U.S. forces, leaving at least 25 militants dead, the source said.

The attack occurred overnight and continued to the early morning hours, the source said Nike VaporMax Youth UK Sale , adding that the militants pounded the military base with a heavy mortar barrage, damaging at least two helicopters parked in the base.

Also in the province, Sunni insurgents on Wednesday night attacked the town of Amerli near the city of Tuz-Khurmato, but were repelled by security forces and militiamen allied with the government, leaving at least 15 militants dead, the source said without giving further details about the casualties among the security forces or supporting militias.

Salahudin province is a Sunni-dominated province and its capital Tikrit, some 170 km north of Baghdad Nike VaporMax Womens UK Sale , is the hometown of former President Saddam Hussein.

On Tuesday, Iraqi security forces launched a major offensive on Tikrit trying to regain control of the area from Islamist militias. Militant groups took control of the city on June 11 when hundreds of gunmen entered the city during the advance of the Sunni Islamist militias.

Sunni militias along with the Islamic State, formerly known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant have stunned the world by capturing large swathes of territory both in Syria and Iraq, overrunning the latter's army and snatching up a large cache of weapons from military depots abandoned by Iraqi troops. Since then the insurgents have been battling security forces throughout Iraq, trying to wrest territories from government control.

Elsewhere in Iraq, three Kurdish security members, known as Peshmerga Nike VaporMax Mens UK Sale , were killed and 18 others were wounded during violent clashes in south and west of the city of Kirkuk, a Kurdish security source told Xinhua.

Brigadier General Shirko Fatih, commander of the Peshmerga brigade, was among the wounded Kurdish security members, the source said.

Earlier, the Kurdish forces took full control of the city of Kirkuk and large areas to the west and south of the city after Iraqi security forces fled following the June blitzkrieg by the Sunni militant groups.

The ethnically mixed city of Kirkuk is part of the disputed areas claimed by the Kurds and both Arabs and Turkomans. The Kurds want to incorporate the areas on the edge of their Kurdistan region, but their move is fiercely opposed by Baghdad government.

In Diyala province Nike VaporMax 2019 UK Sale , fierce clashes erupted in al-Harouniyah area near the city of Maqdadiyah between the security forces and Sunni militants, leaving 13 militants, two policemen and a soldier dead, Sadiq al-Hussieny, head of the security committee of Diyala' s provincial council, told Xinhua.

Three militants, including an insurgent group leader Nike Air VaporMax UK Sale , were killed in separate clashes with security forces across the province, a provincial police source said.

In Anbar province, security forces battled insurgent groups near the militant.
