The U.S. and other international negotiators reportedly have agreed to the outlines of an understanding with Iran that would allow for a final phase of nuclear talks.
The Associated Press, citing officials, reported on the agreement, while noting that negotiators are still in a dispute over how much to make public.
A press conference is about to begin to announce the details, but according to Reuters it looks like Iran has agreed to suspend much of its nuclear program.
Uranium, uranium uranium. Not a word about plutonium or promethium.
Joint Statement by EU High Representative Federica Mogherini (alias Obama) and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif SwitzerlandWe, the EU High Representative and the Foreign Minister of the I. R. of Iran, together with the Foreign Ministers of the E3+3 (China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States), met from 26 March to 2nd April 2015 in Switzerland. As agreed in November 2013, we gathered here to find solutions towards reaching a comprehensive resolution that will ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear programme and the comprehensive lifting of all sanctions.
Today, we have taken a decisive step: we have reached solutions on key parameters of a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The political determination, the good will and the hard work of all parties made it possible. Let us thank all delegations for their tireless dedication.
This is a crucial decision laying the agreed basis for the final text of the JCPOA. We can now restart drafting the text and annexes of the JCPOA, guided by the solutions developed in these days.
As Iran pursues a peaceful nuclear programme, Iran's enrichment capacity, enrichment level and stockpile will be limited for specified durations, and there will be no other enrichment facility than Natanz. Iran's research and development on centrifuges will be carried out on a scope and schedule that has been mutually agreed.
Fordow will be converted from an enrichment site into a nuclear, physics and technology centre. International collaboration will be encouraged in agreed areas of research. There will not be any fissile material at Fordow. An international joint venture will assist Iran in redesigning and rebuilding a modernized Heavy Water Research Reactor in Arak that will not produce weapons grade plutonium. There will be no reprocessing and the spent fuel will be exported. A set of measures have been agreed to monitor the provisions of the JCPOA including implementation of the modified Code 3.1 and provisional application of the Additional Protocol.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will be permitted the use of modern technologies and will have enhanced access through agreed procedures, including to clarify past and present issues. Iran will take part in international cooperation in the field of civilian nuclear energy which can include supply of power and research reactors. Another important area of cooperation will be in the field of nuclear safety and security. The EU will terminate the implementation of all nuclear-related economic and financial sanctions and the US will cease the application of all nuclear-related secondary economic and financial sanctions, simultaneously with the IAEA-verified implementation by Iran of its key nuclear commitments.
A new UN Security Council Resolution will endorse the JCPOA, terminate all previous nuclear-related resolutions and incorporate certain restrictive measures for a mutually agreed period of time.
We will now work to write the text of a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action including its technical details in the coming weeks and months at the political and experts levels. We are committed to complete our efforts by June 30th. We would like to thank the Swiss government for its generous support in hosting these negotiations.
But but but Obama said they couldn’t use plutonium or promethium......if you believe him?
Boehner....”Congress ‘must be allowed to fully review’
HAHAHAHAHA....well sure they can read it....who does he think he’s kidding.... Is our congress worth just being a proof reading body? Sure looks like it.
O-bomb-a Care. Set up a website for Iran. Be 10 years before they can log on to build anything.
What a joke!
That's progress?
Then they must be Progressives too.
That must be why they get along sowell with Barack The Obamatollah.
A new UN Security Council Resolution will endorse the JCPOA, terminate all previous nuclear-related resolutions
Here is the payoff for the Iranians.
So they are assured of having a bomb, in 10 years (or sooner) but no later than 10. These nuts can wait 10 years to destroy the world.
We should all be afraid as our congress is nothing more than Obama's secretarial briefing room...and he gets to chose what he does or not send them. We are living in despicable and dangerous times and it's not going to get better any time soon.
Obama creating chaos for glory! And he has his masses indoctrinated well, as someone else in History...now repeating itself.
you mean we cant trust Mitch to be the tough guy he says he is ? (SARC)
Not likely until he leaves.
alphabetical except for EU?
As I recall, he said it was a ‘good start.’
