The full implementation of the deal aimed at preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons in return for the lifting of international sanctions comes after a final check of Iranian compliance with the terms by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The lifting of sanctions enables Iran to reintegrate into the international community in a range of areas and provides fresh impetus for progress of the whole region, the Slovenian Foreign Ministry said as the terms of the deal kicked in.

The ministry said it expected Iran to take the historic opportunity afforded to it by constructively engaging in efforts to find diplomatic solutions for other conflicts in its region.

In this light, Slovenia welcomes the inclusion of Iran in efforts to find a solution for the crisis in Syria.

The ministry added that it expects Iran to fully abide by the accord.
