Iran on November 25, 2013struck a historic nuclear deal with the United States and five other world powers, marking the most significant development between the two nations in more than three decades of estrangement.
The agreement commits Iran to curb its nuclear activities in exchange for limited and gradual sanctions relief. It builds on the momentum of the dialogue opened during September's annual UN gathering, which included a 15-minute phone conversation between President Barack Obama and Iran's new president, Hassan Rouhani.
It marks a milestone between the two countries, which broke diplomatic ties 34 years ago when Iran's Islamic revolution climaxed in the storming of the US Embassy in Tehran.
