A Senior Iranian negotiator voiced satisfaction in the progressive trend of the third round of talks between Iran and the Group5+1 (the five Permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) in Vienna, and expressed hope that the seven delegations could strike a final deal in six months. “Discussions were useful, constructive and were made in good atmosphere,” Seyed Abbas Araqchi, who is Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, said at the end of the first day of talks with the Sextet of the world powers in Vienna. Araqchi went on to say that there are different viewpoints regarding the time frame for the completion of the talks but a final agreement is possible in less than six months. The top Iranian negotiator stated that Tehran would continue its uranium enrichment program, saying that “the enrichment will continue, it will not be suspended or stopped, but its dimensions will be determined during the negotiations.” Araqchi also criticized the US secretary of state for his latest accusations that Iran was seeking a nuclear bomb. He said Tehran has nothing to hide as all aspects of its nuclear program are peaceful. Representatives of Iran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) started the third round of talks on a comprehensive nuclear agreement in Vienna on Tuesday morning. The fresh round of talks comes after a breakthrough temporary deal between Tehran and the sextet in Geneva in November followed by two rounds of talks between experts of Iran and the six power and two sets of meetings between senior negotiators of the seven nations.
