Rouhani believes that Iran's rights as a nuclear nation have been recognized and that the US and its partners agreed to substantial and perhaps imminent sanctions relief. Iran's president is portraying the deal as a victory for the Islamic Republic, as he has to: Rouhani must sell the deal against the opposition of regime hardliners who fear that any big agreement with the US could undermine a regime for whom anti-Americanism has been a longstanding ideological pillar. It's still unknown whether the sides actually made commitments that could lead to a final deal - or whether Lausanne was just aimed at publicly justifying further negotiating rounds in the absence of substantial progress. Statements from the Iranian side could help clarify whether the Lausanne announcement corresponds to a concrete set of agreements. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif tweeted that a White House fact sheet on the deal is "spin." And there's a glaring discrepancy between the EU-Iranian joint statement on the deal and the White House's claims on the verification regime that Iran agreed to. It's unclear what if any document was actually signed in Lausanne, or even how many different versions of the agreement are circulating. Public statements from Iranian officials are critical at this point.
