Federica Mogherini, the European Union's foreign policy chief, and Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran's foreign minister, read statements in front of television cameras outlining the main points of this agreement. The statements indicate that Iran's nuclear program will be limited in exchange for the lifting of all EU and US sanctions and UN Security Council resolutions regarding Iran's nuclear program. Iran has agreed to conduct uranium enrichment only at the Natanz facility, and that too in a limited manner. The Fordow site will be converted into a research center, and all fissile materials will be removed from it. The Arak heavy water reactor will also be redesigned with international cooperation. The President of the United States described this agreement as a good deal that, according to him, prevents Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
