Iran "has opened a new chapter"
in its ties with the world,
President Hassan Rouhani said,
hours after international nuclear
sanctions were lifted. The move came after the international
nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, said Iran
had complied with a deal designed to
prevent it developing nuclear
weapons. UN, US and EU sanctions have hit
Iran hard for years. Most Western governments hailed the
move but Israel accused Tehran of
still seeking to build a nuclear bomb. Five key points of the nuclear deal Will Tehran now get a McDonald's? Iran frees US citizens in prisoner exchange Who is freed US reporter Jason Rezaian? "Without an appropriate reaction to
every violation, Iran will realise it can
continue to develop nuclear weapons,
destabilise the region and spread
terror," Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said. US Republican House Speaker Paul
Ryan said the Obama administration
had moved to lift economic sanctions
"on the world's leading state sponsor
of terrorism". Before the deal, Iran could have
enriched enough uranium to make a
nuclear bomb within a matter of
weeks, had it so wanted, says the
BBC's Bethany Bell in Vienna. Now it would take more than a year
and it is something international
inspectors would see, she says
