After arduous talks that spanned 20 months, negotiators
have reached a landmark deal aimed at reining in Iran's
nuclear program.
The agreement, a focal point of U.S. President Barack
Obama's foreign policy, appears set to reshape relations
between Iran and the West, with its effects likely to
ripple across the volatile Middle East.
Representatives of Iran, the United States and the other
nations involved in the marathon talks were holding a
final meeting in Vienna on Tuesday.
Obama praised the deal reached Tuesday morning,
saying the agreement met the goals he had in place
throughout negotiations.
"Today after two years of negotiation the United States
together with the international community has achieved
something that decades of animosity has not: a
comprehensive long-term deal with Iran that will prevent
it from obtaining a nuclear weapon," Obama said from
the White House, with Vice President Joe Biden at his
side.
"This deal is not built on trust. It's built on verification,"
Obama said Tuesday.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also praised the deal,
speaking after Obama finished, as televisions in Iran
broadcast the U.S. President's statement live, translated
into Farsi.
"Negotiators have reached a good agreement and I
announce to our people that our prayers have come
true," Rouhani said in a live address to the nation
following Obama.
The essential idea behind the deal is that in exchange for
limits on its nuclear activities, Iran would get relief from
sanctions while being allowed to continue its atomic
program for peaceful purposes.
After news of the deal emerged, Yukiya Amano, the chief
of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said he had
signed a "roadmap" with the Iranian government "for the
clarification of past and present outstanding issues
regarding Iran's nuclear program."
But the deal between Iran and world powers, brokered
during lengthy negotiations in a Vienna hotel, is far from
the end of the story.
The accord is expected to face fierce opposition from
Republicans in the U.S. Congress, as well as from Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a longstanding critic
of the negotiations.
"From the initial reports we can already conclude that
this agreement is a historic mistake for the world,"
Netanyahu said Tuesday. "Far-reaching concessions
have been made in all areas that were supposed to
prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons capability."
Netanyahu has repeatedly warned of Iranian support for
terrorism and its ambitions to expand its influence and
annihilate Israel.

Netanyahu will need a hug right now

What is there to negotiate?Iran...a sponsor of terrorism,a direct hater of the existence of a sovereign nation,in israel.I'm with Netenyahu on this.
Should be 0% nuclear proliferation for iran

Although netanyahu has a point. But. Somtimes I wonder who is the indirect sponsors of terror? Is it the middle east, the west or both. Also what does these so called world powers actually want? Is it a peaceful world or regional wars and instability to foster their interest. Infact I'm beginning to believe the conspiracy theorist with new events unfolding everyday. I won't be surprise if boko haram has international sponsorship frm countries that have been pledging support to help Nigeria combat it.

A nuclear armed Iran is a nuclear armed ISIL. Iran is an open sponsor of the Houthis Rebel-- the group terrorising and destabilising Yemen as we speak, they are responsible for the attacks on the Yemeni presidential and forcefully sending their president on asylum/exile(whichever you choose).
Well, israel and Saudi are one hell of a bone in Iran's neck. Israel particularly has Iran nuclear programme in planning her military. Saudi is still an enemy of Iran. A weakened Iran is the joy of Saudi.
