Iran, World Leaders Announce ‘Win-Win’ Iran Deal

An official announcement of the Iran nuclear deal was made early Tuesday afternoon in Vienna by negotiators from Iran, the EU, and the P5+1 group of world powers including the US, UK, France, Germany, China and Russia.

 

EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini sat next to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif with other officials in an announcement ahead of a final closed door session, which was characterized by a jovial and celebratory atmosphere.

 

During the closed session, Mogherini announced via Twitter that “#IranTalks done. We have the agreement. #IranDeal.”

 

Afterwards, a joint announcement was made, but not before a joint photo of Mogherini, Zarif, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, and US Secretary of State John Kerry, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, and German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier.

 

Mogherini then spoke, saying the long talks that have stretched on since an interim deal in November 2013 delivered results.

 

“This is an historic day,” she said, claiming that the ten-year dispute on Iran’s nuclear program was solved.

 

The final text on a deal has been sealed and it includes the lifting of all UN sanctions against Iran, she said, adding, “we know that this deal will be subject to intense scrutiny” but it is a “good deal.”
