Nuclear Deal (JCPOA)

The majority of political figures in the UK favor an agreement with Iran and are not sensitive about the terminology used in the documents, said Jack Straw.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and US Secretary of State John Kerry have held fresh talks in Munich as a March deadline for a nuclear deal between Tehran and the P5+1 group approaches.

Ayatollah Ahmad Alam al-Hoda, the Friday prayer leader of Mashhad, has said that those who are appointed to the Cabinet should see the ideal outlook of the revolution.

After a meeting with the heads of the other two branches of government Tuesday, the president told reporters the nuclear case was one of the issues that came up for discussion at the meeting.

The official news agency rallies behind the moderate approach of the president and his diplomats in interaction with the rest of the world.

The prospects of the conclusion of a final comprehensive nuclear deal depend on good faith displayed by the other side, Araghchi said.

A senior Iranian MP has said that Tehran will scale up its nuclear program if the US Congress imposes further sanctions against Iran, advising Washington to learn lessons from its past experience.

Araghchi described the negotiations in Istanbul as very useful, yet noted that it is too early to say that progress has been made.

Envoys from Iran and three European countries involved in the nuclear talks will hold one-day negotiations in Istanbul on January 29.

Zarif hit back at radicals slamming their "unfair criticism" of nuclear negotiators.

Iran has displayed goodwill in nuclear talks with P5+1; the responsibility of probable failure of the negotiations rests with the other side, said Shamkhani.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has stressed that the Western countries should win the trust of the Iranian nation in the nuclear talks.

The Iranian parliament speaker has said that the US president is to blame if the negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program break down.

In a phone chat at the request of the EU foreign policy chief, Zarif and Mogherini talked about the latest developments in nuclear talks between Iran and P5+1.

Mohammad Javad Zarif has said that the Iranian lawmakers will adopt a bill requiring the government to increase uranium enrichment level in case fresh sanctions are slapped on Iran by the US Congress.

Top diplomats from Iran and the US have held talks on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, discussing the need to speed up the nuclear talks.

The latest IAEA report indicates that Iran is honoring its promise not to develop its nuclear activities while its talks with P5+1 are underway.

“I wouldn’t get involved in things I have no knowledge about. Diplomacy is the only thing I know,” said Foreign Minister Zarif.

President Obama has threatened in his State-of-the-Union speech that he would veto any congressional bill that would slap additional sanctions on Iran.

Justice Minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi has said that Iran has managed to undo the destructive effects of the Western-imposed sanctions.

Alan Eyre says conclusion of a comprehensive deal at nuclear talks is a tough job. If it had been easy, a settlement would have been reached already.

Iran says an agreement on the country’s nuclear energy program can only be signed when Western countries stop exerting pressure on Tehran.

If the US forged ahead with its sanctions, an initiative which grants the government the go-ahead to enrich uranium to 60 percent levels would be handed over to the Presiding Board, said Asafari.

Senior Iranian negotiator Seyyed Abbas Araghchi has said that Tehran hopes to bring the nuclear talks to a conclusion within the remaining time.

Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani has said that Iranian lawmakers are seeking to ratify a bill to resume nuclear enrichment if new Western sanctions are imposed on Iran.
