1986 629 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Lausanne, Switzerland (CNN)The United States and other world powers have agreed on the general terms of a deal meant to keep Iran's nuclear program peaceful, a major breakthrough after months of high-stakes negotiations.The deal, annoucned Thursday evening in Switzerland, calls for Iran to limits its enrichment capacity and stockpile in exchange for the European Union lifting economic sanctions that have hobbled Iran's economy.Iran also agreed to enrich nuclear materials only at one plant, with other nuclear facilities converted for other uses, said Federica Mogherini, foreign policy chief for the European Union.The United States would lift many sanctions on Iran after Iran's implementation of the agreement is confirmed.Leading negotiators announced the deal in a news conference in Lausanne, Switzerland, where they have been meeting for months.Negotiators must resolve additional details of a final deal by the end of June. The announcement marks the end of a round of talks that started last week.They were supposed to reach a framework for a deal by Tuesday but stretched the talks into Thursday.The world powers involved in the talks were the United States, Russia, China, France, the United Kingdom and Germany.The talks, aimed at reaching a preliminary political deal on Iran's nuclear program, blew past their initial, self-imposed deadline of late Tuesday as Iranian and U.S. negotiators struggled to find compromises on key issues.But the negotiators doggedly continued their work in Lausanne, trying to overcome decades of mistrust between Tehran and Washington.The mutual mistrust has been a serious problem in the talks, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said earlier Thursday."I believe respect is something that needs to be exercised in practice and in deeds, and I hope that everyone is engaging in that in mutual respect," he said.SOURCE: http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/02/world/iran-nuclear-talks/WATCH PRESIDENT OBAMA LIVE SPEECH: https://www.whitehouse.gov/live BUY BEAUTY BEHIND THE MADNESS ON ITUNES.
