TEHRAN (Tasnim) Irans Supreme National Security Council has clearly defined a framework for a range of decisions that can be taken by the countrys negotiators in the ongoing nuclear talks with six world powers, a senior Iranian lawmaker said.Supreme National Security Council has clearly specified a whole range of decisions (on nuclear talks with the West), Chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi on Tuesday.
Certainly, no decision will be taken outside the framework and any other decision in this regard is not acceptable, he added.
Earlier this week, Iranian lawmakers renewed calls on the countrys negotiators to safeguard the nations full rights in the upcoming talks with the six world powers over Tehran's peaceful nuclear energy program.
The nuclear negotiating team, in the talks, should protect all nuclear rights of the Iranian nation based on the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), including enrichment, research and development in various areas as well as (maintaining) the Arak heavy water facility, the Iranian MPs said in a statement issued on Monday.
The Iranian negotiators should not retreat from the peaceful nuclear technology achievements in return for any promises because (in that case) they should be answerable to the representatives of the nation, the statement added.
Representatives from Iran and the Group 5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) have gathered in the Austrian capital to hold a fresh round of high-profile nuclear talks, which begin on Wednesday and are expected to extend over three days.
The negotiating parties have set an agenda for drafting the text of the long-expected agreement in the forthcoming talks as part of efforts to resolve the standoff over Irans nuclear case once and for all.
Iran and the G5+1 (also known as P5+1 or E3+3) have already clinched an interim nuclear deal in Switzerland in November last year, which stipulates that over the course of six months, they will draw up a comprehensive nuclear deal which will lead to a lifting of the whole sanctions on Iran.
