Arms embargo to last for further five years

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that all sanctions should be lifted from Iran, which has a right to a peaceful nuclear program.

The deal stipulates that the UN arms embargo against Iran will remain for another five years. US missile sanctions will stay for another eight years.

Under a “snapback” plan, sanctions may be renewed within 65 days if Iran violates the agreement.

However, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius believes that the deal will last for at least 10 years.

Speaking to the French Le Monde newspaper, Fabius attributed France's role "of constructive firmness enabled a sufficiently robust agreement."

"It is in this spirit that we will watch over its implementation,” he added.
