Zarif: New chapter of hope
14 July 2015 11:15 BST
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and EU’s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini gave a brief press conference in Vienna, with Zarif saying the deal is "not perfect".
"Today could have been the end of hope on this issue but today we are starting a new chapter of hope,” Zarif said.
They then withdrew to a private session to formally take up the deal, which comprises over a hundred pages and has five different annexes attached.
The deal will be taken up by the UN Security Council in a few weeks to turn it into an international law.
Meanwhile, Saudi state television has chosen to ignore the news completely.
