Iran says nuclear deal with US is very close if three conditions are met

A nuclear agreement between Iran and the United States is within reach if Washington meets three key conditions, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh said in an interview with NEWS.am, an Armenian news outlet, during his visit to Yerevan.

“If the United States departs from its old policy of not respecting the rights of other nations, including Iran; if it accepts Iran's right to peaceful nuclear activity under the Non-Proliferation Treaty; and if it provides an objective guarantee for the lifting of sanctions, then I think an agreement is very close,” NEWS.am quoted Khatibzadeh as saying.
