Iran - US Deal & Covering Iran in Class

With the US-Iranian nuclear deal now complete (graphic) as I will tell my students, it will not be on the AP exam since that was in the can last April.  On the other hand there are plenty of related items that will make either the US or the comparative exam.  For example:

  • What is the legislature in Iran: 
  • Who is the president of Iran: 
  • Who is the Supreme Leader of Iran:  
  • What is the role between the two above
  • Why is the economy in Iran a driver in the nuclear deal?
  • What is the Green Revolution and how might it have been connected to the deal?
  • What US position initiates treaties?
  • What US cabinet position has been negotiating with Iran
  • What US body normally makes treaties? 
  • What # of senators must agree to a treaty?
  • Since the deal with Iran is not a treaty, what is the name of a presidential agreement that circumvents Congress?
