When the Obama administration was strong-arming Senate Democrats to save its Iran deal, many promises were made. Central to the White House storyline was the President's claim that sanctions on Iran for terrorism, human rights and ballistic missiles "will continue to be fully enforced."

White Helmets are Syrian volunteers, members of civil society, accountants, firefighters, who come from all ethnic, religious and political factions.
