Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei praised the efforts of the Iranian nuclear negotiating team who took part in the talks with the world powers.

As he received President Hasan Rouhani and his cabinet on Tuesday evening, the Leader praised the “honest and hard endeavors” of the negotiating team, Iranian media reported.

Rouhani, for his part, thanked Imam Khamenei for supporting the Iranian nuclear negotiating team of his administration.

The president expressed hope that the nuclear conclusion reached in Vienna would prepare the ground for relieving pressure on Iran and disproving unfounded allegations fabricated by Iran’s enemies, and would also contribute to national progress.

After 18 days of marathon talks in the Austrian capital of Vienna, Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers - the United States, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany - reached a conclusion on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which will put limits on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for the removal of sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

The 159-page conclusion will be presented to the Security Council, which will adopt a resolution in seven to 10 days making the JCPOA an official document.
