Over the weekend, the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, China and Russia agreed to a deal with leaders from Iran.
According to the deal, Iran would suspend its nuclear program for six months, and in return, the other nations would ease sanctions against the Middle Eastern country.
The deal is not without its critics however; President Obama faces opposition from Republicans and some Democrats for supporting the plan.

Damian Williams scored on a 25-yard touchdown run on the first play of overtime, and the Mississippi State defense made it stand, as the Bulldogs defeated Arkansas 24-17 on Saturday at War Memorial Stadium.
The tradition of having the Hogs play in Little Rock could be lost in a few years. The issue is that it's costly for the team to travel from Fayetteville to Little Rock and there are just more seats to sell in Fayetteville's stadium. The team's contract with the stadium ends in 2016.
The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings turned in the league's first tie in a year, and only its fourth since 2000.
But some Packers apparently were expecting more football after 15 minutes of OT had expired. The game ended in a 26-26 tie. They didn't think ties happened in the NFL (they are admittedly rare).
Peyton Manning led the Broncos for 24 unanswered points in the first half of their meeting with the New England Patriots. But Tom Brady's crew was able to rally back and force overtime. The Pats ended up squeaking by the Broncos 34-31.
Tony Romo and the embattled Dallas Cowboys all but buried New York's slim hopes of making the playoffs. Romo threw two touchdown passes and led a 14-play drive that set up Dan Bailey's 35-yard field goal on the final play. The Cowboys won 24-21 Sunday, ending the Giants' four-game winning streak.
