The historic deal struck between Iran and world powers is an interim agreement that gives each side a small portion of their demands.

Western officials said the deal will halt the growth of Iran's nuclear program; roll back key parts of the nuclear complex; step up monitoring; and expand the time it will take Iran to "break out" and produce weapons-grade fuel.

Iran says it is receiving a break from economic sanctions and international recognition that it is entitled to pursue a civilian nuclear program.

Here are major provisions:

Enrichment
  • Iran must cease all uranium enrichment above 5% purity.
  • International powers will recognize the right of the Iranian people to access peaceful nuclear energy.
