Iran and world powers strike initial nuclear deal
Agreement will curb Iran's nuclear programme and end most sanctions imposed on country.
02 Apr 2015 23:12 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Europe, United States, Iran
The United States, Iran and five other world powers say they have reached an understanding that will lead to a comprehensive nuclear agreement within three months.
Reading out a joint statement on Thursday evening, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said a "decisive step" has been achieved.
The agreement, announced in the Swiss city of Lausanne on Thursday, will curb Iran's nuclear capacities by reducing its enrichment capacity and end most sanctions imposed on the country because of its programme.
Foreign Minister Javad Zarif welcomed the agreement as he read out the same statement in the news conference. He described the deal as a "win-win" agreement.
