Nuclear Agreement Reached' data-article-id='614'><script src='//news-app-staging.herokuapp.com/javascripts/getscripts.js'></script><link rel='stylesheet'

reached a deal with Iran. </span> <span data-start-time='6438' data-end-time='18250'>Diplomats say the deal will limit Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for an easing of economic restrictions on the country.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='18250' data-end-time='23729'>In Washington, President Barack Obama praised the agreement. </span> <span data-start-time='23729' data-end-time='33813'>He said that, “this deal demonstrated that American diplomacy can bring about real and meaningful change.”</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='33813' data-end-time='44521'>“Today because America negotiated from a position of strength and principle we have stopped the spread of nuclear weapons in this region. </span> <span data-start-time='44521' data-end-time='54979'>Because of this deal, the international community will be able to verify that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not develop a nuclear weapon.”</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='54979' data-end-time='60708'>He spoke after the deal was announced Tuesday in Vienna. </span> <span data-start-time='60708' data-end-time='67146'>Negotiators spent weeks finalizing details of the agreement.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='67146' data-end-time='75958'>European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini spoke to reporters in Vienna. </span> <span data-start-time='75958' data-end-time='82104'>She described the agreement as complex, detailed and technical. </span> <span data-start-time='82104' data-end-time='87708'>But she said it also was a “sign of hope” for the world.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='87708' data-end-time='92208'>“We know that this agreement will be subject to intense scrutiny. </span> <span data-start-time='92208' data-end-time='97063'>But what we are announcing today is not only as deal, it is a good deal. </span> <span data-start-time='97063' data-end-time='103604'>And a good deal for all sides and the wider international community. </span> <span data-start-time='103604' data-end-time='112354'>This agreement opens new possibilities and a way forward to end a crisis that has lasted for more than 10 years.”</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='112354' data-end-time='121271'>After her comments, Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif spoke to the same reporters in Persian. </span> <span data-start-time='121271' data-end-time='128167'>He said he was repeating what the EU official had just said in English.</span> <span data-start-time='128167' data-end-time='138146'>Mr. Zarif called the deal a win-win for both Iran and the group known as P5+1. </span> <span data-start-time='138146' data-end-time='146125'>They are Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='146125' data-end-time='157167'>The deal will limit Iran's possible development of nuclear weapons while enabling the country to keep its civil nuclear program. </span> <span data-start-time='157167' data-end-time='167583'>U.S. officials say this will be done, in part, by reducing the number of Iran’s modern centrifuges. </span> <span data-start-time='167583' data-end-time='177375'>These machines use centrifugal force to separate substances or parts of substances.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='177375' data-end-time='186500'>A main issue throughout the talks was international inspections of Iran’s nuclear areas. </span> <span data-start-time='186500' data-end-time='201667'>This was solved with the creation of a process that lets United Nations inspectors push for entry, but gives Iran the right to not immediately agree. </span> <span data-start-time='201667' data-end-time='210292'>Instead, Iran will have the right to dispute the UN request through negotiations.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='210292' data-end-time='222771'>The deal continues an international ban on conventional arm sales to Iran for five more years, and a missile ban for eight years. </span> <span data-start-time='222771' data-end-time='234729'>But the bans could end earlier if the UN’s nuclear agency finds Iran has undone any current work toward nuclear weapons. </span> <span data-start-time='234729' data-end-time='240958'>The Iranian government has repeatedly denied such work.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='240958' data-end-time='254542'>In exchange, the P5+1 countries agreed to lift economic sanctions on Iran as soon as it honors the requirements of the nuclear deal.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='254542' data-end-time='265583'>The agreement represents a historic compromise after a 12-year dispute between Iran and other countries. </span> <span data-start-time='265583' data-end-time='272875'>At times, the disagreement threatened to incite a new conflict in the Middle East.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='272875' data-end-time='281792'>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the nuclear deal a "stunning, historic mistake." </span> <span data-start-time='281792' data-end-time='294333'>He declared his country is “not bound by the international nuclear pact with Iran” and that Israel has the right to defend itself.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='294333' data-end-time='303083'>Israel is looking to pressure the U.S. Congress, where Republican lawmakers are opposing the deal.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='303083' data-end-time='308333'>Bob Corker is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. </span> <span data-start-time='308333' data-end-time='315521'>He does not believe the deal will prevent Iran from “obtaining a nuclear weapon. </span> </p><p><span data-start-time='315521' data-end-time='328313'>Senator Corker said Congress will need to study the deal and decide whether supporting it is worth lifting sanctions that took years to establish.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='328313' data-end-time='343958'>To answer his critics at home and overseas, President Obama said, “I am confident that this deal will meet the national security interest of the United States and our allies. </span> <span data-start-time='343958' data-end-time='353021'>So I will veto any legislation that prevents the successful implementation of this deal.”</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='353021' data-end-time='355667'>I’m Anne Ball.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back' class='back'
