TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian legislator expressed doubt that Tehran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) could reach a final deal due to the western powers' excessive demands from Iran."The negotiations are continued but reaching results depends on the G5+1, specially the US," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Esmayeel Kossari told FNA on Sunday.
He described the excessive demands raised by the West as the main impediment to the attainment of a final agreement between the two sides, and said the westerners dont even get satisfied with Iran's undertakings under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and pursue excessive demands beyond the treaty.
"Due to these excessive demands, I have gather that the negotiations would yield no results," Kossari underlined.
Iran and the Group 5+1 sealed an interim deal in the Swiss city of Geneva on November 24, 2013 to pave the way for the full resolution of the decade-old dispute with Iran over the countrys nuclear standoff with the West. The deal came into force on January 20.
Under the Geneva deal, dubbed the Joint Plan of Action, the six countries undertook to provide Iran with some sanctions relief in exchange for Tehran agreeing to limit certain aspects of its nuclear activities during a six-month period.
The sixth round of talks between Iran and the G5+1 over a comprehensive final deal is slated for July 2.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters after the latest round of talks with the six world powers held in Vienna on June 16-20 that although the seven nations have started compiling the draft deal, the harsh stance taken by the western powers, which is reflected in their excessive and maximum demands show that they are not fully ready to enter serious negotiations to attain a final solution to the decade-old standoff.
He stressed that Iran would not give up its rights, and would continue resistance until restoring all its nuclear rights.
