Negotiators in Vienna announced early yesterday that they had reached an historic agreement between six world powers and Iran over its nuclear program. As we start to analyze the details of the deal and think about its implications, there are a few things we should keep in mind going forward, so that we are looking at this agreement in the right context.
Before we get into things, the deal in its entirety is available here. It is a long document, at 159 pages, and it is precise and technically complex. The New York Times has created a nice infographic, especially useful for those unfamiliar with the nuclear fuel cycle, on how the deal will prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapons capability. And already, the provisions of the deal are being interpreted very differently — for example, Dov Zakhiem paints a less-than-rosy picture over at Foreign Policy, whereas Joe Cirincione at Slate is more optimistic.
