Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says a preliminary nuclear deal shows that his country’s enrichment work poses no ‘threat’ to the world. <br /><br /> He was speaking in Tehran, after Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif arrived back in the country, after sealing the outline accord with world powers in Switzerland. <br /><br /> Tehran has agreed to curb, but not abandon, its atomic activities in exchange for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions. <br /><br /> “Until yesterday, everyone was saying that enrichment is a threat to the region and the world. Now everyone has accepted that the enrichment on Iranian soil is not a threat to anyone,” said Rouhani. <br /><br /> The outline accord was announced after eight days of talks in the Swiss city of Lausanne.<br /><br /> It follows 12 years of brinkmanship, threat and confrontation amid fears that Iran’s aim has been to build an atomic bomb. A claim it denies. <br /><br /> But Rouhani has warned that Iran will only keep to its promise, if other parties stick to their side of the deal too.
