Iran pledged that it was open to all levels of talks on its nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief during talks in Vienna on Friday.
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, speaking to Austrian press said,
“Even if I’m optimistic, that doesn’t mean that any deal is acceptable. All parties want a good deal, and for Iran it’s only a good deal if our legitimate rights are respected and sanctions are finished.”
Responding to questions on whether an agreement would be reached before the June 30 deadline, Mr Araqchi, said,
"We believe that solving the technical components won't be difficult if there is veritable political will. If that is the case, the final deal can very likely be reached before the deadline.”
Deputy level talks between Iran and the six powers, the US, Russia, China, UK France and Germany are expected to continue next week, reports Reuters.
