The senior negotiator told Mehrnews that reaching a proper agreement is the primary goal and even if the talks extend day-by-day Iran is ready to stay and continue.
He further added that an understanding has been reached on the removal of financial and economic sanctions, noting that the 5+1 should make a "political decision" to settle the remaining issues blocking a final deal on Tehran’s nuclear program.
“The other parties should stop loyalty to sanctions. This is an obvious principle that we cannot have both a deal and sanctions together, and the 5+1 should choose one of them. The approach should definitely change,” added Araghchi considering the issue of sanctions.
He also said the text of final agreement between Iran and the 5+1 is almost complete, however the remaining parts need political will.
Araghchi meanwhile added that Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Ali-Akbar Salehi and the US Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz have had good and serious discussions about the annexes of the nuclear talks.
