U.S. led negotiations (click here) between Iran
and six world powers have concluded with a final, historic agreement
that will temporarily cut off Iran's pathway to making a nuclear bomb in
exchange for the relief of crippling economic sanctions levied by the
U.S. and United Nations.
The world needs to surround this agreement and build on it. This agreement is an overlay to the relationships that will come from it.

Iran has agreed to significantly reduce its stockpile of enriched
nuclear material and cease further enrichment, effectively extending the
time it would take Iran to build a bomb from a few months to one year,
over to 10 years. Upon verification that Iran is keeping its commitments
to dismantle much of its nuclear program, major economic sanctions will
be lifted, effectively releasing more than $100 billion in frozen
Iranian assets. That undetermined point in time is now known as
"implementation day."
Europe has an intense interest in peace when it comes to the Iranian nuclear program. I would think countries negotiating trade agreements with Iran after this historic agreement will also build solid reasons for Iran to end their nuclear program forever.

Negotiators also agreed that a long-standing arms embargo on Iran would
be lifted over time, one of the major sticking points in the talks and a
decision that will be seen as a major concession by the United States.
The nuclear accord states that five years from now Iran will be able to
buy and sell conventional arms on the international market, and in eight
years it will be allowed to do the same with ballistic missiles....
Peace can be built on trade. With Iran belonging to the Non-Proliferation Treaty there is every reason to believe economic strength will develop the incentive to peace. War never solves the need for economic strength, it destroys it. The Iranian people have chosen wisely in their elections for a President that have lead them into the future. It is up to the world and the Iranian people to continue to build on this historic agreement. The future now invites peace and it should be pursued with vigor.
I am proud of the USA's role in this agreement. Tomorrow has promise for the Middle East, it should not be taken lightly. The people of Iran has spoken. Our people need to respond in kind. Opening relationships with Iran will help solve many problems that isolation never could.
The P5+1 have developed a main document and five very detailed technical
appendices.
Dr. Ernest Moniz is at the center of this agreement and will be vital in creating an understanding of it's depth to Congress. I look forward to hearing from him regarding the technical details.
The negotiations has been working on a UN Security Council Resolution that all members have consented. The agreement is expected to be unanimously agreed to by the Security Council. The IAEA will have access to report the steps taken by Iran to fulfill the agreement.
All major power are involved; China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK and the US have come to a historic agreement. This agreement should never be squandered for politics. The implications of the agreement are far reaching. All the major powers have concluded their participation, this is an international agreement and requires a sober approach.
