Adoption refers to an accord in Vienna on the main agreement text and annexes for respective domestic review.

I urge you to stand with Israel and reject a deal with Iran that threatens us all.
Should a deal fall through, Dunford warned, the situation will be even worse, as Iran would immediately become a massively destabilizing influence on the Middle East.
Russia, a potential arms supplier, is backing Iran’s demand for the United Nations embargo to be lifted. As it appears, this is far more hard to achieve considering the likeliness that foreign companies will still be reluctant to reenter the Iranian market under the threat of the remaining secondary sanctions.
Before his departure from Tehran on Wednesday, Rouhani was quoted by the semi-official Mehr news agency as saying that, “Iran is preparing itself for after the negotiations and after sanctions, in which our relations with other countries… will expand”.
American allies and friends will see a final deal as risky – if not much worse – and as letting the Iranian genie out of the bottle it’s been contained in for decades, threatening their security and advancing the Persian push for regional hegemony.

In addition to lobbying against a deal in Washington, over the past several years AIPAC has also been promoting state-level bills mandating divestment of public funds from foreign companies doing business with Iran. Takht-Ravanchi added that “it is not acceptable” for this process to be delayed.
One wrinkle: Because of the long period of worldwide sanctions, Iran has developed a robust domestic arms industry run by the Revolutionary Guards. “Iran is committed to fighting IS… and lifting the arms embargo will help it improve its ability to fight against terrorism”, Lavrov said. Some of these problems may be eased somewhat if the coming days (or hours) lead to a deal between Iran and the P5+1.
The negotiators missed a Friday morning deadline set by the U.S. Congress for an expedited 30-day review of the deal. In addressing these worries, the USA administration committed to keeping the legal foundations of the sanction architecture intact to ensure that Iran could be punished through an immediate snap-back of sanctions in case of noncompliance.
Moscow and Tehran are interested in finishing a deal on the sale to Iran of Russian anti-aircraft missiles.
