Too early to celebrate Iran nuclear deal: Germany's FM, French FM cautious.

Too early to celebrate Iran nuclear deal: Germany's FM, French FM cautious. (NCRI).

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Friday that it is too early to celebrate an agreement on Iran's nuclear programme, but he expressed hope the Iranian regime will stick to a framework deal reached in Switzerland on Thursday, Reuters reported.

In Paris, France's foreign minister warned Friday that the tricky issue of when crippling sanctions on Tehran regime would be lifted following a framework deal over its nuclear programme was "not yet solved."

"The Iranian want sanctions to be lifted immediately," Laurent Fabius told Europe 1 radio station.
"We say to them: we will ease the sanctions as you respect what you have agreed to and if you don t live up to your commitments, of course we can return to the situation we had before.

"On this point, there is not yet a deal," said Fabius.

"We are going in the right direction ... but we are not yet at the end of the road," stressed Fabius.

The main outlines agreed after eight days of talks in the Swiss city of Lausanne now have to be finalized in a highly complex agreement by June 30.

France's foreign minister says his country held out for firmer conditions in the preliminary agreement on Iran's nuclear program, and remains cautious about its success.

Laurent Fabius said on Europe-1 radio Friday that the agreement reached between the Iranian regime and six world powers is a "very important" step. But he noted that it's only a preliminary move, and "the end of the road is the end of June," the deadline for a comprehensive agreement.

Fabius said France rejected the original draft as not "solid enough," and the Iranian regime's delegation threatened to leave the talks.

Meanwhile in Washington, US Republicans expressed skepticism about the deal to curb Iran's nuclear programme, with House Speaker John Boehner demanding Congress be allowed to review the accord before crippling economic sanctions are lifted.

Several House and Senate members expressed cautious optimism about what President Barack Obama called a "historic understanding" reached yesterday between six world powers and Iran, a deal he assured would, if followed, prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb.

Boehner slammed it as an "alarming departure" from the White House's initial goals, suggesting the Obama administration caved to Iranian negotiators and allowed certain concessions.  Hmmm......A lot of smoke and mirrors and in case you think the Iranians can be trusted.....read the tweet below.
