The signature of an initial deal to end the war between Iran and the United States has sparked divided reactions in Tehran and Tel Aviv.
US President Donald Trump and his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian separately signed the text on Wednesday.
It calls for Tehran to dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and waives US-backed sanctions on the country, immediately allowing Iran to sell its oil freely in a major concession from Washington, according to details released by both countries.
The Chairperson of the African Union Commission welcomed the agreement in a statement on Thursday, “describing it as an important step towards ending hostilities, reducing tensions, and advancing lasting peace and stability in the Middle East.”
The agreement appears to offer Iran several benefits up front while extracting little in return.
