Iran Says All Sanctions Must Be Lifted Immediately For A Final Nuclear Deal

CNN: Iran: No signing final nuclear deal unless economic sanctions are lifted

(CNN)Iran will only sign a final nuclear agreement if economic sanctions against the nation are removed on the first day of the deal's implementation, President Hassan Rouhani said Thursday.

Six world powers and Iran reached a preliminary deal last week that aims to limit Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting economic sanctions.

The United States, however, has stressed that if a final deal is reached with Iran, the removal of any sanctions will come in phases.

But work on the agreement isn't finished.

WNU Editor: I see the problems already .... Ayatollah Khamenei's remarks that the nuclear framework agreement is non-binding while saying that international inspectors will not be allowed into Iran's military facilities under the pretext of nuclear supervision (something that he has always been saying) .... does not give me confidence that this deal will happen.
