RFE/RL’s Analysis of Iran’s Nuclear Deal
Following days of negotiations in Geneva with six world powers, Iran has agreed to curb some of its nuclear activities in return for limited sanctions relief. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s Iran experts provide analysis:
# FLASH ANALYSIS: Mardo Soghom, Regional Director for Iran and Iraq, assesses the six-month agreement and what’s next for the country.
# After years of stalemate, finally a deal. But, as Senior Correspondent Golnaz Esfandiari reports, much work remains to be done to work out a permanent deal. (Listen to Esfandiari discuss the deal on KQED.)
# Esfandiari also reports that the agreement was fittingly announced on Twitter, as social media has been among the primary sources of information for tech-savvy young Iranians following news about the talks.
# Iranians have generally welcomed the country’s interim nuclear deal, although some conservatives still remain skeptical about the outcome. Radio Farda and RFE/RL’s Central Newsroom report.
