An agreement has been reached between Iran and the six world powers over Iran’s nuclear program, according to Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency. The agreement, which ends a 12-year dispute over Iran’s alleged race to acquire a nuclear weapon, meets all of Iran’s demands including a complete lifting of all economic sanctions as well as a termination of the UN-imposed arms embargo on the Islamic Republic, Fars reported.
"According to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, all sanctions against Iran are terminated and Iran will no more be recognized as a sanctioned nation," said a source privy to the talks and quoted by Fars. "The JCPA only envisages a set of temporary restrictions that will be removed after a limited and logical period of time, as stated earlier by the Iranian Supreme Leader."
The agreement will be subject to review by the U.S. Congress as well as Iranian officials. At the end of last month, the Iranian parliament passed a bill making any agreement contingent on meeting the following conditions:
- The “full and total removal” of all sanctions. Sanction must be completely lifted upon Iran’s fulfillment of its “undertakings”
- Only routine inspections of nuclear sites by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will be allowed. There will be no access to military, security and other sensitive sites (nuclear or non-nuclear).
- No limitation may be put on Iranian research and development programs regarding nuclear technology
- Take a look at this short movie to see how Iran has seemingly duped the West.
