Iran nuclear agreement reached amid controversies

So finally this seems to have been inked - a historic nuclear deal with major powers and Iran has been reached. A senior Western diplomat confirmed that the landmark Iran nuclear agreement was reached after clearing final obstacles.

The deal will grant Tehran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear programme, an Iranian diplomat said on Tuesday.

Under the deal, Tehran would have the right to challenge the UN request and an arbitration board composed of Iran and the six world powers that negotiated with it would have to decide on the issue.

The deal beside being historic is also controversial. Its opponents on Capitol Hill, in Iran, in Israel and the Gulf will continue to campaign against it. But it is practical proof once more that diplomacy is indeed the art of the possible.

Nuclear deal with Iran 'not far', says France

France24 reports quoting a top French diplomat that world powers were “not far” from striking a nuclear deal with Iran. 

The comment came after France blocked an initial accord, winning Paris praise from conservatives in Washington but sparking anger in Tehran.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius reportedly said on Monday that an agreement between Western powers and Iran to limit the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme was “not far”, after he was the target of both praise and condemnation over negotiations that stalled over the weekend.

In the meanwhile the state-run Tehran Times reported on Monday that in light of French obstructionism, Iranian businessmen will “review their relations” with France and find “a more trustworthy partner”.
