— On Saturday, Aug. 8, community leaders and activists met at La Pita in Dearborn to discuss the Iranian nuclear deal with Rep. Debbie Dingell (D- Dearborn). 

Congress is expected vote on the measure in the coming weeks. Community members encouraged Dingell to vote in favor of the deal. 

In the historic deal, the six world powers known as P5+1 (The U.S., China, France, Russia, The U.K. and Germany—along with the European Union) convinced Iran to considerably reduce its nuclear activities to a point that makes it impossible to produce a nuclear weapon. The agreement also lifts economic sanctions on Iran if it complies.
