Iran urges West to quit excessive demands to pave way for final nuclear deal

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht Ravanchi called on the western members of the Group 5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) to give up their excessive demands in the negotiations with Iran, if they really are interested in cutting a final deal before the July 1 deadline.

This (cutting the final nuclear deal in due time) requires the other party (G5+1) to stop excessive demands and show more cooperation and a better understanding of the realities, Takht Ravanchi said at a meeting with Czech Parliament Vice-Speaker Vojtech Filip in Tehran on Tuesday.

On Thursday, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei specified conditions for a final nuclear deal with the world powers, and voiced opposition to the West's excessive demands, including inspection of Iran's defensive and military centers, after a possible nuclear deal.

"They (the foreigners) shouldnt be allowed at all to penetrate into the country's security and defensive boundaries under the pretext of supervision, and the country's military officials are not permitted at all to allow the foreigners to cross these boundaries or stop the country's defensive development under the pretext of supervision and inspection," Ayatollah Khamenei said.

Elaborating on his position on the recent nuclear statement issued by Iran and the G5+1 in Lausanne, Switzerland, on April 2, he said, "I am neither in favor nor against it since nothing has happened yet and no binding issue has occurred between the two sides."

Ayatollah Khamenei underscored that he would support a final deal which would guarantee the Iranian nation's honor and interests, and added, "I am not indifferent to the negotiations but I have not interfered in the details of the negotiations by now and will not interfere in the future either."

Stressing that the underway talks between Tehran and the world powers were merely limited to the nuclear issue, he advised the Iranian officials and negotiators not to trust the other side as their untrustworthiness was seen in the recent remarks by US President Barack Obama after the joint nuclear statement.

Ayatollah Khamenei stressed the necessity for continued progress in the country's nuclear Research and Development (R&D) and development of the nuclear industry, and said another important issue in the final deal is that "the sanctions should be removed completely on the same day (of the implementation) of any agreement".
