Interim Iran nuclear deal aims to buy time and keep talks alive
A tentative accord curtails enrichment and allows limited sanctions relief while inspections and a six month deadline deter stockpile manipulation. Iran gains access to billions in frozen assets and imported goods, but sanctions stay in place pending a final agreement. Critics worry it delays a final solution and leaves Iran’s nuclear program intact.

Iran relief deal offers limited sanctions relief
The agreement would yield less than 6 billion dollars in relief for Iran in exchange for cutting enrichment thresholds diluting stockpiles and allowing inspections. Iranian officials say up to 100 billion dollars in assets remain frozen overseas, but with a 484 billion dollar GDP the impact appears minimal while inflation around 40 percent annually and an 80 percent currency drop since 2012 erode buying power.
