Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani underlined that the nuclear talks between Tehran and the world powers will yield a final agreement if the western powers stop seeking excuses.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran will continue the negotiations similar to the past by maintaining its logical principles and criteria," Larijani said in a meeting with Croatia's First Deputy Prime Minister Vesna Pusic in Tehran on Sunday night.
"If there no baseless excuse is sought, attainment of an agreement can be expected," he added.
Pusic, for his part, expressed the hope that Iran's nuclear issue will be settled fairly and in line with the establishment of peace and stability in the world, and said, "Croatia as a new member of the EU is ready to cooperate in bringing progress to the talks."
On Saturday, Larijani underlined that US President Barack Obama should account for any possible failure in the nuclear talks between Tehran and the world powers.
"The issues between the US administration and the congress and their internal problems are not related to us," Larijani said, addressing a forum in Tehran.
His remarks came after the US congress (mostly grabbed by the Republicans) threatened the Obama administration that it will impose new sanctions against Iran, an issue which has been described as a redline by Tehran in the interim nuclear agreement reached with the world powers in November 2013.
"If the negotiations do not end in results, Obama should account for rocking the boat," he said.
Also last Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister and top negotiator Mohammad Javad Zarif called on the US officials to stop the policy of pressures against Tehran, adding that the negotiations with the world powers have entered a complicated stage.
