Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani underlined that any nuclear deal with the world powers should include annulment of all sanctions against Tehran, Fars News Agency reported.
"Since the very first day, all peaceful nuclear activities of Iran have been conducted based on real needs and under the supervision of the (International Atomic Energy) Agency's inspectors," Shamkhani said in a meeting with a high-ranking Chinese official in Tehran on Sunday.
"Iran has acted upon its undertakings with good will and within the framework of the Joint Plan of Action (Geneva deal) and if the other side adopts a logical and non-political approach based on the realities on the ground, reaching an agreement in the nuclear negotiations will be possible rapidly," he added.
"Annulment of all the cruel sanctions and maintenance of all the legal rights of Iran within the framework of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) should be envisaged in any agreement, and the (G5+1 member) countries' internal differences and excessive demands will not wear off the determination that the Iranian negotiating team has in this regard," Shamkhani reiterated.
