Despite a flutter over remarks by the Supreme Leader on Saturday that all was not fitting in President Rouhanis trip to New York last week see separate analysis Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif (pictured) has maintained the push for nuclear talks with the US as well as other powers.Zarif said in an interview on Iranian TV late Saturday that Tehran is ready to give Washington the opportunity to prove its goodwill.
The Foreign Minister seeks a win-win scenario when nuclear talks resume on October 15-16 in Geneva with the 5+1 Powers (US, Britain, France, Germany, China, Russia).
At the same time, he maintained the Islamic Republics immediate conditions for an agreement: recognition of Irans right to peaceful uranium enrichment and relief from US-led sanctions.
Zarif stressed that any nuclear deal should allow Tehran to maintain its uranium enrichment while providing greater assurances the program remains peaceful.
Meanwhile, there is a notable omission on Press TV, which published Zarifs remarks.
The State outlet does not mention any criticism by the Supreme Leader of President Rouhanis five-day trip to the US, which included a speech at the United Nations and a historic phone call with President Obama. Instead, it headlines, Leader Supports Rouhanis Diplomacy.
