Separate Iranian and American statements on the outline of the nuclear agreement reached in April 2015, and the different interpretations
03/29/2015
The different statements put out by the Iranian foreign minister and by John Kerry were intended to give each side the opportunity to sell what it had agreed to at home- the Iranian negotiators to hardliners in the Iranian government, and the U.S. to Congress and Israel. On a key issue for the Iranians for example the words are for sanctions to be lifted "immediately," and the Fordo complex conversion into a science and technology research center can be put off if America does not lift sanctions. The American statement talks about sanctions lifting as a step by step process. These differences could lead to tough negotiations ahead.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
