Iran, P5+1 reach 'historic' framework deal
Iran and six world powers announced a more detailed political agreement for a final Iran nuclear accord than was expected after turbulent nuclear talks.
Lausanne, Switzerland — Iran and six world powers announced a far more detailed political agreement for a final Iran nuclear deal than had been expected to emerge from marathon nuclear talks that negotiators described as a turbulent, emotional rollercoaster.
We have “found solutions,” Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif first proclaimed on Twitter on April 2, “Ready to start drafting immediately.”
We have “succeeded in making history,” Zarif said at a press conference here April 2. “If we succeed, it is one of the few cases where an issue of significance is solved through diplomatic means.”
We have “reached a historic understanding with Iran, which, if fully implemented, will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon,” US President Barack Obama said from the White House rose garden after the deal was announced April 2.
