Iran nuclear deal framework

A nuclear deal with Iran will significantly reduce Tehran's enrichment capacity, US Vice-President Joe Biden's national security adviser told a conference in Qatar on June 1.

An Iran nuclear deal is not likely by June 30 because technical details will remain to defined and Iran will not get sanctions relief before the end of the year in the best of cases, western ambassadors said on May 26. 

An Iranian negotiator on May 24 denied accepting military site inspections as part of a nuclear deal with world powers, a delicate issue in talks that must be concluded by the end of June.

Iran's supreme leader vowed May 20 he will not allow international inspection of Iran's military sites or access to Iranian scientists under any nuclear agreement with world powers.

Iran and major powers held a second day of talks April 23 seeking to finalise a historic deal that would make any attempt by Tehran to make a nuclear weapon extremely difficult and easily detectable
 

Major world powers and Iran will hold fresh talks in Vienna on April 22-23 to build on the framework accord reached on Tehran's contested nuclear programme, the EU announced April 16.
      
The two sides "will continue work towards a comprehensive solution to the Iranian nuclear issue based on the key understandings reached in Switzerland on April 2," a statement said.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his criticisms on the agreement reached over the Iranian nuclear program, which he characterized as the most dangerous country on Earth.

Israel is the fiercest combatant of the deal reached on April 2nd in Lausanne between Iran and the US,France,UK, China, Russia and Germany.

A framework nuclear deal reached with world powers last week is no guarantee a full agreement will be reached by the end of June, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said April 9.

Iran will agree to a final nuclear accord with six major powers only if all sanctions imposed on the country over its disputed nuclear work are lifted, President Hassan Rouhani said in a televised speech on April 9. 

"We will not sign any deal unless all sanctions are lifted on the same day ... We want a win-win deal for all parties involved in the nuclear talks," Rouhani said. 

All United Nations Security Council resolutions related to Iran's nuclear programme will be lifted immediately if a final deal is agreed, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on April 4, stressing the benefits to Iran of this week's negotiations.
