Russian Foreign Ministry said Thursday that a framework nuclear agreement clinched between international brokers and Iran will have positive impact on the situation in the Middle East.
"There is no doubt that agreements on Iran nuclear program will have a positive impact on the overall security situation in the Middle East, including the fact that Tehran will be able to take a more active part in the resolution of a number of existing regional problems and conflicts," RIA Novosti quoted the ministry as saying.
Foreign ministers of the U.S. and other major powers -- Britain, France, Russia, China plus Germany -- agreed Thursday on parameters to resolve major issues on Iran's nuclear program, following eight-day-long intense negotiations in the Swiss city of Lausanne, with a view to sealing a final comprehensive pact by the end of June.
Under the parameters unveiled by the Obama administration, Iran agrees to reduce its installed centrifuges to 6,104 from some 19, 000, suspend the enrichment of uranium over 3.67 percent for at least 15 years and cut its stockpiled low-enriched uranium from about 10,000 kilograms to 300 kilograms for 15 years.
In addition, Iran allows regular access to all of its nuclear facilities for inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency, and agrees to redesign and rebuild a heavy water research reactor in Arak that will not produce weapons-grade plutonium.
In return, the United States and the European Union will suspend sanctions on Tehran, along with lifting of all UN Security Council's past sanction resolutions.
