Iranian Foreign Minister: We are very close to the answer

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has said if Western countries intend to settle the dispute over Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities, “grounds are completely prepared”. Iranian IRNA writes about this.

“But if they are to exert pressure on Iran, Tehran would never enter any talks under pressure much less to enter any agreements,” Zarif told reporters. 

“The nuclear talks have currently reached the phase of discussing detailed technical issues. Today we talk about enrichment, the rate of enrichment and the best efficiency of centrifuges based on their arrangement.” 

“We are very close to the answer,” said the minister reiterating the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear activities. 

Commenting on problems on the way of a nuclear agreement, he said, “The problem is a political decision which is whether Western states, the US in particular, intend to solve the (nuclear) problem or they want to exert pressure on Iran.”

Zarif also said there is only one source for optimism and that is “Western states have finally come to the conclusion that sanctions are not effective for dealing with Iran.”
