Iran's President Hassan Rouhani has pledged to abide by the commitments of a nuclear agreement that promises to end years of crippling sanctions.

Residents danced in the streets, blared their horns and joyously waved their national flag following the breakthrough deal.

The agreement between Iran and the West, struck after a 12-year stand-off, aims to prevent Tehran making a nuclear weapon in exchange for phased sanction relief.

Mr Rouhani also called on world powers to fulfil their part of the deal.

The marathon talks between Iran and the US, UK, France, China, Russia and Germany in Lausanne, on the shores of Lake Geneva, had run over their deadline by more than two days with many fearing a deal was not possible.

But last night, the EU's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini announced Iran had agreed to restrictions on its enrichment of material that can be used either for energy production or in nuclear warheads.

They will also be subjected to inspections. If they are found to be in violation of the terms, the sanctions will be put back in place.

Iran and the six world powers must now finalise the deal by June 30. Negotiations on a comprehensive deal will begin in days.
