A senior Iranian official describes the time remaining for the conclusion of a final nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers as the best opportunity for the latter to resolve its differences with the Islamic Republic.
The pressure of sanctions and excessive demands cannot solve the problem in [the ongoing] negotiations. They (world powers)have experienced [the attitude of] the Iranian nation, which stands by its values at whatever expense. Therefore, [the remaining time] is the best opportunity for them to resolve their issues with Iran, the head of Iran's Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, Kamal Kharrazi, said.

He said the possibility ofconclusion ofa final accord hinges on the decision made by the opposite side -- the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- Russia, China, France, Britain, and the United States -- plus Germany (P5+1).

if their claim is right and they believe they are after peace and calm, [then] naturally they should resolve their issues with Iran, but in a way that Iran is not denied its rights, said Kharrazi, who served as Irans foreign minister from 1997 to 2005.

Iran has sought nothing beyond its legal rights in the nuclear negotiations. We, based on the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty), pursue the restoration of our rights..., he noted.

Last November, the two sides clinched an interim nuclear accord, which took effect on January 20 and expired six months later. However, they agreed to extend their talks until November 24 as they remained divided on a number of key issues.
