Khorasan daily has divided the nuclear talks into three periods, explaining what has happened during each period and what the Iranian team should do before the July 1 deadline.
Alaeddin Boroujerdi told reporters that inspection of Iran's military sites would not be part of an emerging nuclear deal between Tehran and six world powers.
US military threats against Iran cannot get operational, Velayati said, citing that the Americans have suffered defeat in wars against countries which are not as strong as Iran.
If the other side shows “seriousness” in the ongoing negotiations, “an agreement is very likely,” Zarif said in an interview with German magazine Spiegel.
A senior Iranian nuclear negotiator says the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) inspections of Iran's non-nuclear sites would merely be within the framework of the Additional Protocol to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), should the Islamic Republic approve to implement it.
The speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly has warned fellow MPs against getting carried away by a politically charged atmosphere over the nuclear issue.
The bill which would require a halt to nuclear talks unless the US stops its threatening rhetoric against the Islamic Republic will be rejected by the Custodians Council, Davatgari predicted.
Iran has rejected a report about a connection between the relocation of its Interests Section in Washington and the ongoing negotiations with the P5+1 on its nuclear program.
If the Americans seek to act against the Islamic Republic’s demand for the removal of all sanctions at the same time as a final deal takes effect, Iran also will not accept the deal, said Boroujerdi.
Talks with the EU political director will start on May 12 and representatives of P5+1 would join on May 15 to complete the process of drafting a final agreement, said Araghchi.
It will be a tough task. This first draft will be full of disputed issues and will include parentheses and brackets, and decisions should be made about them in the future, said Araghchi.
The process of drafting a final deal is moving forward as the two sides are determined to end this manufactured crisis and open new horizons, said Zarif.
Araghchi said Iran and P5+1, represented by EU political director Helga Schmid, have officially started drawing up the draft of a final nuclear agreement.
Donya-e Eqtesad daily has said in an opinion piece that the tentative nuclear agreement has come with some consequences which should be thoroughly thought through by parties involved.
