As the Zionist entity swiftly criticized a deal reached between Iran and the World powers, World countries widely praised the nuclear deal as a very important step.
UN leader Ban Ki-moon said that nuclear deal could be “historic” for the Middle East, his spokesman said. Ban “warmly welcomes” the preliminary accord, said the UN spokesman Martin Nesirky. Ban said the accord “could turn out to be the beginnings of a historic agreement for the peoples and nations of the Middle East region and beyond.”
US President Barack Obama described it an important step. “Today, the United States together with our close allies and partners took an important first step toward a comprehensive solution that addresses our concerns with the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear program.”
US Secretary of State John Kerry, however, tried to appease enraged Zionist leaders, saying: “This first step, I want to emphasize, actually rolls back the program from where it is today, enlarges the breakout time, which would not have occurred unless this agreement existed. It will make our partners in the region safer. It will make our ally Israel safer.”
European Union President Herman Van Rompuy greeted the “courage” shown by Iran and world powers in their deal, urging its ‘punctual’ implementation. “It is now crucial to ensure punctual implementation of the agreement reached and to continue working, on the basis of the trust that is being built, towards a definitive settlement of this issue,” Van Rompuy said.
Russia said there were only winners and no losers in the deal, while China said the Geneva document will support stability in the Middle East.
Russian President Vladimir Putin called the deal reached a breakthrough but warned it was the first step in a long process. “A breakthrough step has been made, but only the first on a long and difficult path,” Putin said in his first comments on the deal. “As the result of talks... we managed to get closer to untying one of the most difficult knots in world politics,” the Russian leader said, according to a Kremlin statement.
“Nobody lost, everyone ends up winning... We are convinced that Iran will cooperate with the (International Atomic Energy Agency) agency in good faith,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the agreement “will help to uphold the international nuclear non-proliferation system, (and) safeguard peace and stability in the Middle East.”
France, the member of the so-called P5+1 group that had expressed the most reservations over Iran's commitment in a previous round of talks, said Sunday's deal was a “step in the right direction
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the accord “confirms Iran's right to civilian nuclear energy but rules out access to the nuclear weapon.”
British Foreign Secretary William Hague welcomed the deal, saying it is “good for the whole world, including Middle Eastern countries and the people of Iran themselves.”
Syria also hailed the deal as “historic”. “Syria welcomes the agreement ... and considers it to be a historic accord which guarantees the interests of the brotherly Iranian people and acknowledges their right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy,” Syria's foreign ministry said, quoted by local media.
