"The nature of (Geneva) agreement was a success for Iran's negotiating team," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said on Sunday.

"The (uranium) enrichment of the Islamic republic has been recognized," said the spokeswoman live on state TV, adding that preserving the redlines in the talks, including the uranium enrichment, is an "achievement" for the Islamic republic.

The agreement made between the world major nations and Iran aims to rein in its nuclear program in return for sanctions relief.

According to the White House, Iran has been committed to halting enrichment above 5 percent and neutralizing its stockpile of near-20 percent uranium by means of dilution or converting.

Furthermore, Iran has been committed not to installing more centrifuges, halting work at its plutonium reactor at Arak, and allowing inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency daily access to its enrichment facilities at Natanz and Fordow, the White House said.

With the recent agreement, the removal of sanctions has started and no new sanctions will be imposed against Iran, said the Iranian official.

By the recent talks, the first step has been taken in resolving the nuclear issue of the country, she said, adding that for Iran, the objective of the negotiations was a win-win game, and the negotiations were directed in the same course by the Iranian negotiators.

Although there lies a long road ahead for achieving final agreement, "balanced steps" by both sides could ultimately result in "the total removal of the sanctions (against Iran) and could secure all the Iranians' rights," said Afkham.

The first-step agreement was reached after intensive negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 group -- the five UN Security Council permanent members, namely Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States, plus Germany.P EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who represents the P5+1 group during the talks, made the announcement of the agreement at the Palace of Nations, the headquarters of United Nations Office in Geneva.
