"Key parameters" of a nuclear deal have been agreed and will be finalised by June 30, President Rohani announced in a tweet.
A Western source said the agreement included provisions for two-thirds of Iran’s current enrichment capacity to be suspended and monitored for the next decade. Most of Iran’s enriched uranium will either be diluted or shipped abroad for storage.
"Found solutions, ready to start drafting immediately," said Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, also in a tweet.
Iranian media reported that Tehran has agreed to slash the number of its centrifuges from 19,000 to 6,000.
US sources said the deal included provisions for US and EU sanctions to "snap back into place" if Iran fails to uphold its part of the agreement.
Sanctions have halved Iran’s oil exports to just over one million barrels per day since the last round of sanctions was put in place in 2012, and how to revoke them – and whether they could be reinstated – had proved a major sticking point in the talks.
Iran’s Zarif and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini delivered a joint statement late Thursday following reports of the deal. Mogherini has acted as a coordinator for the P5+1 powers — the United States, Britain, France, China, Russia plus Germany — in the latest round of talks with Tehran.
Mogherini said a “decisive step” had been achieved.
US Secretary of State John Kerry tweeted that there was a deal “to resolve major issues on nuclear program”.
“Back to work soon on a final deal,” he added.
Speaking from the Rose Garden at the White House, US President Barack Obama said that a "historic understanding" had been reached with Iran.
He called the draft agreement "a good deal ... that meets our core objectives".
