TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) emphasized that any nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers should have the whole cruel sanctions imposed on Iran removed.The full abolition of cruel anti-Iran sanctions and Tehrans entitlement to the whole legal rights within the framework of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) should be stipulated at any nuclear agreement, Ali Shamkhani said of a long-awaited nuclear deal between Iran and the sextet of world powers.
He made the remarks in a meeting with Meng Jianzhu, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, in Tehran on Sunday evening.
In case the other side takes a logical, non-political approach on the basis of realities, reaching an agreement in the nuclear talks will be possible immediately, Shamkhani added.
The senior official also made it clear that internal problems among members of the Group 5+1 or the excessive demands will have no bearing on the Iranian team of negotiators resolve in the course of talks.
The Chinese politician, for his part, reaffirmed Beijings support for Irans civilian nuclear program, and stressed, Iran has the right to enjoy peaceful nuclear energy, and we will definitely support Iran in the (Group) 5+1 talks.
Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) are in talks to hammer out a final deal to end a decade of impasse over Tehrans peaceful nuclear energy program.
