Hizbullah Says Nuke Deal an 'Exemplary Victory' for Iran, Defeat for Enemies
2013-11-26
[An Nahar] Hizbullah on Monday noted that "the nuclear deal between the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran and the P5+1 world powers is an exemplary victory and outstanding global achievement which the Islamic republic has added to its record that is full of triumphs and accomplishments."

In a blurb, the party said Tehran's "active diplomacy managed to reach an agreement based on the firmness of the Iranian stance and principles regarding the issue of the peaceful nuclear program."

"This agreement is a major victory for Iran and all the peoples of the region and a defeat for the enemies of peoples and the forces that are plotting against the region," Hizbullah added.

It congratulated Iran's supreme guide Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani and the Iranian government and people on "this great achievement that will be added to the victories of our nation against the greedy powers and occupiers and all the forces of Istikbar and their proxies in the world."

Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Monday that his country's historic deal with world powers preserves the structure of the country's nuclear drive, while insisting the international sanctions regime had crumbled.

Iran has insisted that its "right" to enrich uranium as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty was accepted in the deal but U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
strongly denies this.

The long-elusive interim accord commits Iran to limit uranium enrichment and curb expansion of its nuclear drive in exchange for limited relief from the sanctions and the freeing up of some of its frozen assets.

The West and Israel suspect Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons capability alongside its uranium enrichment program, which Tehran insists is entirely for peaceful purposes.
