you just spent several weeks in tehran. it's interesting that president obama is being criticized over the deal here in the united states. we hear that netenyahu is getting some stack from some of his people there. what about the leader in iron? will he will hailed as a hero or someone that didn't stand strong against the u.s. >> generally speaking they have been in favor of this deal. it's ramadan right now, so nothing happens during the day, but there is anticipation there will be celebration in the streets. there has been some discussion about allowing some dancing in the streets. generally speaking there will be a celebration. that said iran was very clear about the things it will not allow, including a deal that doesn't lift the conventional weapons ban. well that is in place. they have to abide by the terms of this deal between five and eight years before a regular weapons ban is lifted. so there are complications back home. and it will be up to the ayatollah to say that he supports what happens or hedge a little bit.

his foreign minister, sergey lavrov said he hopes arms deliveries to tehran will be possible within the next five years if approved by the u.n. he has been involved in this whole process going back and forth between moscow and wherever the talks have been taking place pressing for a deal for sanctions to be lifted and that is because russia and iran are allies, good friends they share certain elements of foreign policy and we expect to see cooperation between the two sides increased. of course, if iran comes on to the energy market, that could be competition for russia, but for now at least, i think here in russia, there is relief that this deal has finally been done. >> iran's president said the lifting of the sanctions would have a huge impact on ordinary iranians. this issue saying that iran is at the stage of developing mass destruction weapons from the other side, from the developing, it was important for our country, for the research and development and while this issue was considered as a dignity for our nation and people and from the economic point of view is that those who sanc

al jazeera's diplomatic editor james bays is in vienna. >> the iaea chief is just back from tehran. his organization for a long time has been asking iran questions. it wants to know how it got the know how and components for nuclear weapons. although there are still some sticking points at the attacks it's clear both sides now are also looking at how to sell a deal. that's why i think it was in the interest of both the iranians and the p5+1 for the iaea chief to make this public statement. >> with cooperation from iran, i think we can issue a report by the end of the year on the assessment of that agreement. once an agreement is reached on the comprehensive plan of action, the iaea is ready to implement the nuclear related element when requested. >> respecting more foreign ministers back here in vienna from sunday evening they are then expected to stay in this city joining the negotiations which are going on around the clock. western diplomats say that the seventh of july, that's tuesday is their final deadline. >> now the lebanese armed group said that the battle in syria has begun

russia but certainly extends to european partners that are also banging on the doors of tehran for commercial deals. >> for the moment giving us senior political analyst gives us perspective on this deal from london london. so just to recab then our top story of the day an agreement finally reached foreign ministers from iran and six world powers have announced a nuclear deal in vienna and holding a roundtable meeting as we speak with hours of talks to find list that pact and curbs the program in exchange for relief from sanctions and zarif described it as a historic agreement. here is what the eu foreign policy chief and iran's foreign minister had to see a little earlier this hour as they began their meeting. >> it is a decision that can open the way to a new chapter in international relations and show that the diplomacy, coordination corporation can overcome decades of tensions and confrontations. i think this is a sign of hope for the entire world and we know it's very much needed in these times. >> let me begin by expressing my appreciation to everybody, to those who started this process

you can see tehran looks like a modern city it doesn't have an ancient feeling. iranians want a fair deal. they don't want to the give away the house. the economy has suffered. the currency devalued the banking sanctions affected the prosperity of iranians. they are okay. they want the sanctions lifted. they are okay if it takes a few more dies to get the deal the government says it wants, the same way that president obama is saying we'll stick with this until it gets down. president obama indicates that he's losing patients and there's a similar sentiment on this side. >> a few days is one thing. we saw the celebrations in iran when the graham work deal was announced. -- framework deal was announced. how much pressure is there for the government because the sanctions are wanted to be lifted and hopefully get a different economy. >> a lot of pressure. i expected to be up all night reporting on this. i think i might spend more time in the streets. we thought we would be if there was a deal. people have been hit by the actions. a number of things happened. iran can

>> ali velshi is in tehran for us today. and ali good news. so james spoke about the issues that the iaea will take up with president rouhani in tehran, and let's talk about sanctions. iran wants them to move entirely and is that a possibility. >> the issue is when do they come off? do they get suspended? lifted? entirely removed? some would like them entirely removed. and in fact, the sticking point in the negotiations right now is what james talked about. the fact that the supreme leader has said that it would be an affront to iran to have foreigners come in and inspect the nuclear sites and interviewing the nuclear scientists. but they want parity, and treated by the iaea like other countries are. in the way of sanctions, i spoke to the professor here in tehran. and he was saying that it's not the iranians, in the view of the iranian perspective, there are problems in the united states. while president obama and the executive branch of the administration may be trying to get to a deal, he feels that congress is behind the efforts to stop a

ali velshi has more from tehran. >> reporter: as thursday comes to an end in tehran still no word on a deal for the nuclear negotiations in vienna. however, good tone of optimism coming out of iranian media. there seems to be some sort of press offensive starting this morning when the iranian foreign minister said that world powers are closer together than they ever have been. but that there are political decisions that remain to be made. political decisions mean that much of the technical stuff has been worked out. there is agreement on language and things like that but people have to say yes or no to the deal coming out of tehran. hard liners are stepping up their offensive in iran against such a deal. they are expecting some demonstrations tomorrow, friday in iran whether or not there is a deal. there are reports in iranian media that the deadline has been extended to monday that has not been confirmed -- in fact it has been denied off of the record by some people in vienna. but lots of journalists coming in this here more people talking about the fact that there may be a deal. th

iran's prime minister landed back in tehran following the mammoth negotiations. the agreement will see iran limit nuclear activities in turn for the lifting of crippling sanctions. supporters from the deal gathered on the streets overnight. men celebrated the lifting of the deal and the impact on iran's reputation. >> binyamin netanyahu called iranians underdeveloped people. today we showed to the world we can solve problems with dialogue negotiations and diplomatic means. >> translation: i'm very excited to see that iran achieved the nuclear deal. i think the whole world has seen a new imaging of iran people respect iran. we thank mohammad javad zarif. i want to say to him well done. >> not everyone is happy with a deal. u.s. president obama has the task of reassuring israel gulf allies and u.s. congress who opposed the deal. patty culhane reports from washington. >> americans woke up to an unusual early morning address from u.s. president obama. detailing specifics of the deal from the public while sending a warning to the u.s. congress. >> precisely because th

in the streets of tehran, people hate the sanction. s. -- sanctions. i showed you the money. inflation is running at 15%, a few years ago it was 45%. the economy is growing, it is not in recession, and it does not look like a place that is about to go under. they managed their way around sanctions. there are not other countries in the world that will sell goods to iran, and while it can't get cars and machinery, it can get some. people want a deal. they don't want any dole. that is reported in the press, and that's what i hear from a lot of people. in the end i don't think the average iranian is as consumed by the minutia of negotiations as with the potential for sanctions being lifted. you mentioned the ability to manage the sanctions, we understand there's a lot of internal pressure on iran to reach a deal. there's a number of reports that iran has a water crisis and needs an embargo lifted. other parts are in desire need of technology. what kind of pressure does that put on the iranian side to reach a deal. it's a lot. we are at an auto parts factory, these are the things

ali velshi has more from tehran. >> reporter: it is wednesday morning in tehran. the sun rising and it is another day after which another deadline has passed for a nuclear deal. in fact things have slowed down a little bit in vienna. some foreign ministers have left the negotiations. however, u.s. authorities and iranian authorities insist that negotiations are continuing. they still remain in their own characterization closer than they have ever been before. and there is still talk of a deal by friday. the sticking point now is the u.n. embargo on convention alarms in iran, not nuclear arms. iran has for sometime been unable to trade legally in non-nuclear arms and it would like the right to do that again. in most cases the western powers think this is a non-starter. they don't want more narms this region, fearing that iran will arm others in the region in what some are calling a proxy war. on the other hand russia is interested in iran having more armaments for a few reasons. one of which is that russia could sell those arms to iran the other of course is that r
