According to Russia Today, Iran has accused the US of a ‘one-sided interpretation’ of the details of the Geneva deal regarding nuclear enrichment.

Marziyeh Afkham, Iranian foreign minister said:

What has been released by the website of the White House as a factsheet is a one-sided interpretation of the agreed text in Geneva and some of the explanations and words in the sheet contradict the text of the Joint Plan of Action [the title of the Iran-powers deal], and this factsheet has unfortunately been translated and released in the name of the Geneva agreement by certain media, which is not true.

The Iranian minister said that the reason the talks went on so long was because the wording of the agreement had to be precise and agreeable to both sides. During the meeting this precise wording was agreed upon, but when the details were released on Sunday morning, the wording differed markedly from the original text.

Tehran’s version, which it says is accurate as per the agreement is:

This comprehensive solution would enable Iran to fully enjoy its right to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes under the relevant articles of the NPT in conformity with its obligations therein.”

“This comprehensive solution would involve a mutually defined enrichment program with practical limits and transparency measures to ensure the peaceful nature of the program,” it also says.

And finally, the draft stipulates that “this comprehensive solution would constitute an integrated whole where nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.”
