Obama warns Iran could cut breakout time in decade
President Obama said Iran could build a bomb almost immediately after 12 to 14 years of the emerging nuclear framework, shrinking breakout time to near zero once advanced centrifuges are ready. He argued the deal keeps Iran at least a year from a bomb for a decade, with further easing later. Boehner criticized the plan as a threat to regional and world security amid congressional scrutiny.

Senator Rand Paul opened his bid with a combative critique of Washington and both parties, promising limited government and constitutional restraint. He framed the campaign as a broad appeal effort beyond the GOP base, aiming to mobilize supporters of his father’s prior campaigns and draw contrast with Obama and Bush. He warned of mounting debt and a fading American opportunity, pledging to “take our country back.”
