WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on the global nuclear security summit that President Barack Obama is hosting in Washington (all times local):

10:25 a.m.

President Barack Obama says the nuclear deal with Iran has achieved a “substantial success.”

Obama is meeting on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit with other members of the U.N. Security Council that negotiated the Iran deal along with the U.S. He says as a result of the deal, the world has seen “real progress.”

Obama says Iran already is beginning to see benefits from the deal. But he says it will take time for Iran to reintegrate into the world economy.
