Iran agrees to curb nuclear activity

Iran has agreed to curb some of its nuclear activities in return for about $7bn (£4.3bn) in sanctions relief, after days of intense talks in Geneva.

The deal will last for six months, while a permanent agreement is sought.

While this is just the very first step, as a permanent agreement now needs to be reached, who’d have thought this point would have been reached just three and a bit months since I’m a dinner jacket, excuse me Ahmadinejad left office?

Ever since Hassam Rouhani was sworn in as president in early August there has been a huge shift in tone and a refreshing willingness to negotiate, compromise and reach some common ground. 

Let’s hope that this can continue and all the agreements made are met and a permanent deal can be reached before this one expires.
