The full text of the nuclear agreement emerged online shortly after Iran and world powers reached an accord aimed at curbing Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for eased economic sanctions on Tuesday.
The Buzzfeed website posted the text, which it obtained from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The agreement is based on key parameters of a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreed upon by Iran and P5+1 countries in April.
According to the text, some restraints placed on Iran’s nuclear enrichment will be lifted after eight years, and not 10 to 15 years as previously reported.
In addition, the document states Tehran will be able to continue enriching uranium at 3.67% for 15 years, and will be able to keep 6,104 centrifuges running, 1,044 of them at the secretive nuclear site of Fordo.

Bridging the US-Israel divide
While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power.
As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship beyond the platitudes evident in public statements.
I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's entire, complex story.
