Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is due to meet up with the US delegation in Geneva on Thursday, and commented to the press ahead of the upcoming talks.
Araghchi said: “Pillared on the understandings forged in the previous round, Iran will resume talks with the US in Geneva with a determination to achieve a fair and equitable deal in the shortest possible time.
“Our fundamental convictions are crystal clear – Iran will never under no circumstances ever develop a nuclear weapon, nor will we Iranians ever forgo our right to harness the dividends of peaceful nuclear technology for our people.”
Araghchi continued: “We have a historic opportunity to strike an unprecedented agreement that addresses mutual concerns and achieves mutual interests – a deal is within reach, but only if diplomacy is given priority.
“We have proven that we will stop at nothing to guard our sovereignty with courage – we bring the same courage to the negotiating table, where we will pursue a peaceful resolution to any differences.”
