Iran nuclear program deal reached with world powers during diplomatic talks in Geneva
Iran has reached an agreement with world powers over its nuclear program, according to diplomats at talks in Geneva.
Details of the agreement have yet to be made public, but Iran said earlier on Saturday (local time) it would not accept any agreement that did not recognise what it describes as its "right to enrich uranium".
The agreement between the Islamic state and the United States, France, Germany, Britain, China and Russia was nailed down after more than four days of negotiations.
Tehran denies it would ever "weaponise" enrichment.
Refined uranium can be used to fuel nuclear power plants - Iran's stated goal - but also provide the fissile core of an atomic bomb if refined much further.
Diplomacy was stepped up after the landslide election of Hassan Rouhani, a relative moderate, as Iranian president in June, replacing bellicose nationalist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
