Nuclear deal should ensure Iran’s rights: Official
A senior Iranian nuclear negotiator says the Islamic Republic seeks an agreement with the P5+1 group that respects all rights of the Iranian nation.
Deputy Foreign Minister for European and American Affairs Majid Takht-e-Ravanchi made the remarks in a meeting with Michael Linhart, the secretary general of Austria's Federal Ministry for Europe, Integration and Foreign Affairs, in Tehran on Monday.
The Iranian official reiterated Tehran’s right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, saying the P5+1 group should refrain from making “excessive demands” on Tehran’s nuclear issue.
Linhart, for his part, expressed optimism about the signing of a deal between Iran and the P5+1 group on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, saying Vienna is fully ready to expand relations with Tehran in all domains.
Iran and the P5+1 group - the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China plus Germany - wrapped up their latest round of talks in Vienna on May 22 in another effort to narrow the remaining differences and pave the way for a possible final nuclear deal.
The two sides are currently working to reach a final accord on Iran’s nuclear program by the end of June.
They reached a mutual understanding on the parameters of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – as the potential comprehensive agreement on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program is called – in the Swiss city of Lausanne on April 2.
