On 15 August, rallies in over 100 cities throughout the world expressed support for the nuclear agreement that was signed in Vienna. Demonstrators called on those opposing the deal to stop their attempts to discredit the agreement, promoting the accord as contributing to the enhancement of global peace.
After the agreement was finalised, the EU High Representative and the Iranian Foreign Minister said in a joint statement:
“With courage, political will, mutual respect and leadership, we delivered on what the world was hoping for: a shared commitment to peace and to join hands in order to make our world safer. This is an historic day also because we are creating the conditions for building trust and opening a new chapter in our relationship.”
