There is a very large mine of slow action inherent in Iranian arrangements

A leading researcher at the Russian Institute of Strategic Studies, Vladimir Ivanenko, says that there is a serious fight for Iran today. “From November 2014 there has been a coordination of the so-called joint action plan. The finite boundaries of this agreement have been relegated twice already. Iran has been under sanctions for a really long time and for Iran's economy it is a noose. They should overcome the situation. In Iran, there are many more graduates from the USA than here in our country, and in France, and Germany. A special team was created to make these talks possible. In particular, if we talk about it, then President Rouhani, he's also been one of the most successful negotiators on the Iranian nuclear program. Now, it is Zarif’s team which is working, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who worked on and signed the agreement. But we all saw that the crowds went out onto the streets and applauded this program,” Vladimir Ivanenko says about the situation in the country after signing the agreements in Lausanne.

However, according to the expert, there is a very large mine of slow action inherent in these arrangements: “Sanctions are for Iranians a key point -  the lifting of sanctions. This agreement removed the sanctions of the UN Security Council, although after that another such a resolution will be introduced with additional aggravation for some moments, and the American sanctions and European ones are still reserved. IBecause there are groupings which, for example, tend more to the West, and there are those who are more inclined to Russia. Both of these are done for economic reasons, and for others as well. In the Iranian parliament there were closed hearings. They have analyzed the document, and then Rouhani made a statement that Iran will sign only those agreements that will assume full lifting of sanctions. It's all really a different approach compared to that with which the team of negotiators arrived from Lausanne.”
