On the first anniversary of the nuclear deal between Iran and major powers, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif hailed the landmark pact as the "triumph of diplomacy over coercion". "The Iran deal was a triumph of diplomacy over coercion. Same stark choice for US today and reminder: old methods produce same old failures. Progress will remain elusive, as long as shortsighted bragging, lackluster implementation of obligations and tired slogans are preferred," Zarif wrote on Twitter on Thursday. "Mutual respect and fulfillment of Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [the deal's official title] obligations to ensure promised dividends will open new horizons."
