Locations atomic facilities in Iran
The negotiators had recently negotiated in the Austrian capital 17 days on the final agreement, which Iran the civilian use of nuclear technology allows, but prevents the development of nuclear weapons.

Israel: “Worse error”
Criticism of the agreement there were mainly from Israel.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanjahuals called the agreement a historic mistake, “Iran is opening up a sure way to gain nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said. Many of the restrictions that would prevent exactly would, now repealed. “Iran wins the jackpot, hundreds of billions of dollars, with which the country can continue to push forward aggression and terror in the region and the world. This is a bad mistake of historic proportions.”
Iran: “Foreign Policy Triumph”
In Iran, however joyful celebrations are already prepared.President Hassan Ruhani called the agreement the “biggest foreign policy triumph” of the country.
Even hardliners in the Islamic Republic welcomed the agreement: “The Atom team has successfully defended the interests of the country in a unique way and with much diplomatic skill,” said the Conservative Party Isargaran reported in a release word.
What Iran hopes
By international sanctions, Iran has been economically weakened. With the agreement Tehran linked the hope for improvements in oil exports and the exchange rate.Particularly aggravating for the country’s economy is the effect of also excluding from the international banking system.
With the unification of the nuclear dispute an international operation on another field seems possible: the fight against “Islamic state”. Careful considerations in this direction had been expressed already during the negotiations. “My hope is that the success of the nuclear negotiations provides a boost to the resolution of other conflicts in the region,” Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier pointed to possible new opportunities.
IAEA will monitor systems
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Iran signed an agreement in Vienna, which will play a central role in the nuclear deal. In the coming months, the IAEA will have access to the military facility in Parchin Iran, among others, said IAEA chief Yukiya Amano. In order for the suspect to be clarified whether the Islamic Republic has done research in the past on the development of nuclear weapons. “This is a crucial step towards clarifying outstanding issues”, Amamo said.
