Iran will only accept a deal over its nuclear programme if world powers lifted all sanctions imposed on it.
The Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, speaking on Iranian television, said,
“If there is no end to sanctions, there will not be an agreement. The end of these negotiations and a signed deal must include a declaration of cancelling oppressive sanctions on the great nation of Iran.”
The comments come a day after US President Barack Obama, gave Congress a say in the US stance on Iran and give lawmakers the right to veto the lifting of sanctions imposed by the US.
Several people in US Congress have been highly critical of the US led negotiations with Iran.
