Jordan welcomes Iran's nuclear deal

Jordan, on Monday, welcomed the agreement Iran and world powers have reached over Tehran's nuclear program and said it has always called for a diplomatic and peaceful settlement to this issue.

Jordan's envoy to the UN Security Council, Dina Kawar, voiced the Kingdom's hope that the deal enhances trust between countries of the Middle East and opens the door to broader dialogue over controversial issues.

She also voiced hope that the agreement reflects positively on the region stability, acts as a step to prevent an arms race in the region and makes it a nuke-free region.

Kawar stressed the importance of the International Atomic Energy Agency's role on following up on the implementation of the deal and delivers periodic reports on Iran's commitment.
