Live Blog: Iran Nuclear Deal

Follow all of the developments as they happen

Final Summary

-- Iran and major global powers sealed a landmark deal to curb Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, taking a giant step to end a confrontation that has poisoned ties, isolated the Islamic nation, and raised the specter of a new war in the Middle East.

-- U.S. President Barack Obama has called Benjamin Netanyahu to assuage Israeli concerns over the landmark deal.

-- Obama's administration still faces potential hurdles in the U.S. Congress, where lawmakers offered reactions to the deal ranging from wariness to outrage.

-- Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose country has been Tehran's strongest supporter in the UN Security Council and vocally opposes U.S. and EU sanctions against Iran, said the deal would contribute to combatting terrorism in the Middle East.

-- From potentially stoking a Middle East arms race, to enabling political reforms in Iran, to undercutting Russia’s energy might by freeing up massive oil and gas supplies, here are some possible implications of the agreement.

​Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the deal would give Iran "hundreds of billions of dollars to fuel its terror machine." ()

On Twitter:

"When you are ready to make an agreement at any price -- this is the result. From the first reports we can already determine that this agreement is a historic mistake."

"We knew that the desire to sign the agreement was stronger than anything and therefore we did not commit ourselves to prevent it, but we have committed ourselves to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and this commitment remains." ​
