Foreign relations of Iran

The U.N. Security Council scheduled a vote for first thing July 20 morning on a resolution endorsing the Iran nuclear deal.

The European Union approved the Iran nuclear deal with world powers on July 20, a first step towards lifting Europe's economic sanctions against Tehran that the bloc hopes will send a signal that the U.S. Congress will follow.

The nuclear deal with Iran is likely to re-energize the tired Turkish economy, but Ankara will only be able harness its potential long-term benefits if it can switch to a more flexible foreign policy. A coalition may be the only hope. Here is the reason in four points. 1. Trade volume set to increase

German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel flew to Iran on July 19 as the first top Western official to visit the country since world powers and Tehran reached a historic nuclear deal.

The thing to bear in mind about Tuesday's deal between Iran and the P5+1 countries (the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China) is that without it Iran could get nuclear weapons whenever it wants in a short tme.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has underlined the importance of the Vienna agreement on Iran?s nuclear future and its positive impact on Tehran-Ankara relations with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, via a phone conversation.

Why the deal worked out for Iran?s nuclear program in May 2010 by Turkey and Brazil was rejected by the U.S., and why the current deal worked out between the P5+1 group of nations and Iran is being celebrated as a major breakthrough for the world will remain a matter of academic discussion. 

A deal with world powers ended a "manufactured crisis" over Iran's nuclear programme, its foreign minister said on July 15 after negotiating the accord,which drew furious objections from US lawmakers.

The international deal over Iran?s nuclear program will boost Turkey?s energy sector as oil prices will drop and gas imports from Iran to Turkey might increase, according to sector representatives, who predict that Turkey may even buy more Iranian oil than it did before Tehran was hit by sanctions. 

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and US Secretary of State John Kerry have been recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize of 2016.

The statement was issued by Swedish-based think-tank Wednesday.

The government representatives have been praised on account of the successful completion of the Iran Nuclear Deal talks after 12 years of trade and weapon embargo.
