Zarif: Iran nuclear talks very close to successful end
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iranian foreign minister said the talks between Iran and the six world powers over Tehran's nuclear energy program are very close to their successful end.



Speaking at a conference at Tehran University on Tuesday, Mohammad javad Zarif reiterated that the standoff over Tehrans peaceful nuclear energy program can only be settled through dialog.

World has come to the conclusion that negotiation is the only solution to Iran nuclear issue, Zarif said, A solution based on mutual respect which recognizes the rights and achievements of the Iranian nation is the only way to reach a deal.

Mohammad Javad Zarif underscored that Irans nuclear program has never posed any threats to other countries reiterating that Tehran has never been after nuclear weapons.

We believe that nuclear weapons cannot establish security but pose security threats indeed, he noted.

Irans top nuclear negotiator also pointed to recent comments by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei about the nuclear talks and said as the Supreme Leader announced will agree to a fair deal but will not accept bullying.

In the [nuclear] negotiations, if sensible things are said and fair and wise arrangements are made, we will agree to them; but, Iranians, from the masses of the people to all officials, will stand up to excessive demands, Ayatollah Khamenei said back on Thursday.

Imam Khamenei also said Iran is not against the extension of the nuclear talks for the same reasons it agreed to holding the negotiations.

Of course, we will agree to any fair and rational arrangement. But we know that it the US government which needs the deal and will lose the most if no deal is made, said the leader.

Back in November, top diplomats from Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) decided to extend talks on Tehrans peaceful nuclear program for more seven months.
