TEHRAN, Jan. 02 (MNA) – Iran’s head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) has said Iran, 5+1 nuclear talks will conclude favorably for the Islamic Republic in the near future.

Ali Akbar Salehi made the remarks today during a speech before Friday prayer sermons at Rudbar-e Qasran District in Tehran.


“Be assured that the nuclear issue will resolve in favor of Iran and we will celebrate Tehran’s victory in the near future,” head of AEOI addressed the public.


Salehi maintained that Iran had shown great resistance and patience in the face of withstanding 35 years of pressure, restriction and sanctions imposed by imperialist powers, and would soon achieve its desired results.


Failing to reach an agreement by Nov. 24, 2014, Iran and the G5+1 countries - Russia, China, Britain, the US, France plus Germany- decided to extend their discussions for seven more months. They also agreed that the interim deal they had signed in the Swiss city of Geneva last November remain in place during the remainder of the negotiations until July 1, 2015.


At the end of the first round of talks after the seven-month extension on Dec. 15, Iran’s Deputy FM and senior negotiator Seyed Abbas Araghchi had expressed satisfaction with the positive atmosphere during the talks in Geneva.


According to Iran’s FM spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham, the next round of nuclear talks will be held on January 15 at deputy level in Geneva. There is no plan for other talks ahead of that date, she has clarified.
