Iran is trying to save its enrichment operation at a lower level and also not accepting any pressure to halt its anti-Israel stance. Khamenei's speech [Saturday] highlighted that second point. But at this point, the main issue is dismantling Iran's uranium enrichment,
Agreement was reached to move forward with the talks to continue working through technical elements,
The discussions included useful and original ideas reflecting a shared wish to reach an honorable agreement,
We are serious in the negotiations and seek an agreement. We hold talks because we want peace,
This is unacceptable. Iran will not relinquish its peaceful nuclear rights,
Iran is the most dangerous state in the world" and "must not be allowed to obtain the world's most dangerous weapon,
Iran may place restrictions on things such as its dimensions, size, level and amount in order to build trust, for example, in a period similar to the previous period”
We had more consultations in Tehran this morning and in this round we hope to reach a decisive point,
The fourth round of indirect Iran-US negotiations is concluded; difficult but useful talks to better understand each other's positions and to find reasonable & realistic ways to address the differences,
An enrichment program can never exist in the state of Iran ever again. That’s our red line. No enrichment,
We have been clear about our boundaries,
Enrichment capability is one of the honours and achievements of the Iranian nation,
There are only two alternatives: Blow 'em up nicely or blow 'em up viciously,
What the U.S. says publicly differs from what is said in negotiations,
I have always said that if the... purpose of a deal is to ...ensure that Iran would never have [a] nuclear weapon that is already granted... and a deal would be at our reach".
But if there are unrealistic...demands by the other side, then we are going to have problems
The United States will ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon, but also wishes for lasting peace in the Middle East, a new relationship with Iran, and for the Iranian people to reach their nations full potential,
If the goal of the negotiations is to deprive Iran of its nuclear rights, I state clearly that Iran will not back down from any of its rights,
But what's important is that we are moving forward so that we gradually get into the details,
Negotiations are moving ahead and naturally, the more we advance, the more consultations we have, and the more time the delegations need to examine the issues,
