German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Friday that it is too early to celebrate an agreement on Iran’s nuclear programme, but he expressed hope the Iranian regime will stick to a framework deal reached in Switzerland on Thursday, Reuters reported.

In Paris, France’s foreign minister warned Friday that the tricky issue of when crippling sanctions on Tehran regime would be lifted following a framework deal over its nuclear programme was “not yet solved.”

“The Iranian want sanctions to be lifted immediately,” Laurent Fabius told Europe 1 radio station.

“We say to them: we will ease the sanctions as you respect what you have agreed to and if you don t live up to your commitments, of course we can return to the situation we had before.

“On this point, there is not yet a deal,” said Fabius.

“We are going in the right direction … but we are not yet at the end of the road,” stressed Fabius.

The main outlines agreed after eight days of talks in the Swiss city of Lausanne now have to be finalized in a highly complex agreement by June 30.
