“Some of the explanations and words in the sheet contradict the text of the Joint Plan of Action, and this fact sheet has unfortunately been translated and released in the name of the Geneva agreement by certain media, which is not true,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham said in Tehran.
Iran and the P5+1 nations — the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany — reached an interim deal Sunday in which Iran agreed to curb much of its nuclear activity for six months, during which time the sides will negotiate a final agreement.
In exchange, the West agreed to give Tehran some relief from sanctions that have crippled its economy. Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, including its ability to enrich uranium, a key step in making bombs, remains intact.
Afkham said the White House fact sheet “modified” key details. Iran’s Foreign Ministry released its own version, which the Fars news agency published in its report.
