ABC News – by Justin FishelAfter eight straight days of high-level diplomatic negotiations between the six world powers and Iran, negotiators in Lausanne, Switzerland, announced an interim agreement has been reached on the principles for dismantling Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting heavy economic sanctions.
Iranian leaders, including President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, have released short statements via Twitter today that “solutions on key parameters” have been “reached” and that negotiators are ready to begin drafting an agreement.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry tweeted moments after the Iranians that negotiators “now have parameters to resolve major issues” on Iran’s nuclear program. “Back to work soon on a final deal,” Kerry wrote.
Big day: #EU, P5+1, and #Iran now have parameters to resolve major issues on nuclear program. Back to work soon on a final deal.
