Secret Agreements: How Did Iran React to the Recent Leak of Nuclear Documents?
The Associated Press's recent leak of a confidential document from the nuclear deal concluded between Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers has prompted controversy inside Iran about its significance. The government of President Hassan Rouhani is seeking to use the leak to stress that Iran has made gains from the deal and put pressure on President Barack Obama's administration because it delayed the lifting of sanctions imposed on Iran. On the other hand, fundamental conservatives are seeking to play down the significance of the leak to prevent the reformist camp from capitalizing on these gains in any future election.
