Iran deal possible if P5+1 drops excessive demands: Shamkhani
A senior Iranian official says a final deal with the P5+1 group of countries over Tehran’s nuclear program will be achieved should the six world powers stop raising “excessive demands.”
“A win-win agreement in the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 group is reachable if the opposite side steers clear of the policy of imposition and excessive demands,” Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani said on Tuesday night.
Shamkhani said a durable agreement with the six world powers entails the safeguarding and development of Iran's peaceful nuclear industry and the removal of sanctions slapped on the Islamic Republic.
He also played down the Israeli regime's opposition to ongoing negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 countries.
Iran and the P5+1 countries - the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany - have been engaged in crucial nuclear talks in the Austrian capital to nail down a landmark deal over Tehran’s nuclear program.
Iran and the six countries missed an initial deadline of June 30 and all parties agreed on a new, July 7. However, in the wake of the outstanding issues in the talks, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said on Tuesday that the negotiations will continue for "a couple" of more days.
