TEHRAN, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei on Monday denied rumors that an interim agreement on Iran's nuclear program could be reached at proximity talks between Iran and the United States.
At a weekly press conference, E. Bagai stated that speculation about a temporary deal was unfounded, adding that the details of any negotiations were discussed at the negotiating table.
As he pointed out, Iran’s position on the issue of lifting “harsh” American sanctions and on the nuclear issue is clear, “and we are well aware of the American side’s point of view.”
E. Bagai emphasized that if both sides show goodwill, “we hope that we will be able to hold another round of negotiations in the next two or three days.”
The diplomat added that Iran is determined to follow the diplomatic path, but will never agree to give up its legitimate rights.
The third round of indirect talks on the Iranian nuclear program between Iran and the United States is expected to take place on February 26 in Geneva. It will take place against the backdrop of a buildup of American military presence in West Asia.
