White House releases summary of six-month Iran nuclear plan
WASHINGTON Thu Jan 16, 2014 5:29pm EST
(Reuters) - The White House on Thursday released a summary of the deal reached between six major world powers and Iran to curb its nuclear program, responding to calls from the U.S. Congress and other groups for more transparency about what the agreement entails.
Iran has denied it wants to use the program to eventually build nuclear weapons but agreed to scale it back after the international community applied strict financial and oil sanctions.
The six-month preliminary deal includes some relief from the sanctions as talks continue toward a broader, long-term deal.
The White House gave Congress access to the full text of technical instructions for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) but released a detailed four-page summary of the deal to the public.
