Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at images from the #Iran Negotiations and #ImplementationDay. Take a look at how Secretary Kerry closed the deal. 

“Today marks the first day of a safer world, one where we believe it is possible to remain safer for years to come, and particularly with the compliance of this agreement. I think we have also proven once again why diplomacy has to always be our first choice, and war our last resort.”

“From Presidents Franklin Roosevelt to John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan, the United States has never been afraid to pursue diplomacy with our adversaries. And as President, I decided that a strong, confident America could advance our national security by engaging directly with the Iranian government. We’ve seen the results. Under the nuclear deal that we, our allies and partners reached with Iran last year, Iran will not get its hands on a nuclear bomb.” —President Obama on Iran completing the necessary steps under the Iran Deal to ensure Iran’s nuclear program is and remains exclusively peaceful
