Here are the main points of the nuclear deal with Iran: Iran will - halt uranium enrichment at 5% - neutralize its stockpile of near-20% uranium - halt progress on its enrichment capacity - grant the IAEA unprecedented access to its facilities In return the West will - lift some but not all of the current sanctions - not impose new nuclear-related sanctions for six months However, many sanctions targeting economic sectors, assets, and military equipment will remain in place. The main challenges over the next few months: - This is only a temporary solution. If no comprehensive agreement is reached in the next six months, the deal could fall apart - The deal is likely to face resistance in U.S. Congress - President Rouhani needs to sell this deal to the powerful conservative cleric elements in Iran in order to be granted approval from Ayatollah Khamenei for further negotiations
