India welcomes Iran Nuclear deal

India joined the US and other western powers in welcoming the historic agreement on the framework of a deal aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear programme while Israel claimed the proposed accord could jeopardise its existence if implemented. US President Barack Obama welcomed the "historic understanding" with Iran after decades of hostility but cautioned that more work needs to be done. Iran, one of the world's major oil producing countries, has always denied seeking the atomic bomb, saying its activities are for energy generation and research.
