The Iranian nuclear talks concluded with a preliminary framework for deal in Thursday, with the U.S.-led coalition offering a historic incentive to lift economic sanctions should Iran end up signing the accord later in the summer. Part of Iran's requirements in this deal would be to limit its nuclear capabilities for a period of time. How long?

This one is tricky. According to the [New York Times](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/03/world/middleeast/iran-nuclear-talks.html), what the parties to agreed to in Lausanne, "would drastically cut Iran’s capability for 10 years and then allow it to build up gradually for the next five." The talks now moves into a more formalized phase, with a deadline set at the end of June.
