A historic deal was done on 14th July 2015 which aim at ensuring that Iran does not obtain the nuclear bomb, opening up Tehran’s stricken economy and potentially ending decades of bad blood with the West.

Iran’s nuclear ambitions after repeated diplomatic failures and threats of military action. US President Barack Obama said the deal meant “every pathway to a nuclear weapon is cut off”.

EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini described the deal as “a sign of hope” around the globe, while Russian President Vladimir Putin said the “world has breathed a huge sigh of relief”.

The deal puts strict limits on Iran’s nuclear activities for at least a decade and calls for stringent UN oversight, with world powers hoping this will make any dash to make an atomic bomb virtually impossible.

 In return Iran will get sanctions relief although the measures can “snap back” into place if there are any violations.
