Congress looks to get tough with Iran...as Obama looks to Kiss Their...

As Iran announces intentions to produce advanced centrifuges,Top Democrats align with Republicans on New Sanctions. Upon hearing this, Iran threatens to speed up Uranium Enrichment:
Some 100 Iranian lawmakers introduced a bill in parliament that would force the government to increase uranium enrichment to 60 percent if new sanctions are imposed on the Islamic Republic, state television reported Wednesday. 
The broadcaster said the bill would be put on parliament's agenda for a debate, but didn't say when it would discussed. The bill has to be approved by the 290-seat house and then be ratified by a constitutional watchdog in order to become law. 
The bill is likely a response to a legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate last week that would authorize new economic sanctions on Iran if it breaches the interim nuclear deal reached in Geneva last month or fails to strike a final agreement. 
Under the deal, Iran agreed to limit its uranium enrichment to 5 percent and neutralize its stockpile of 20-percent enriched uranium in return for the easing of some sanctions and a pledge not to impose new ones. 
Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, a member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said the bill, if approved, will give Iran's nuclear negotiators more leverage.
