Larijani says US only discussing nuclear program in Iran talks


"We have not negotiated with the United States on any issue other than the nuclear matter," Iran's top security official Ali Larijani told Oman's state TV on Tuesday.
"The American side has also come to the conclusion that the talks must focus on the nuclear issue," he said.
"In my view, this issue is resolvable. If the Americans’ concern is that Iran should not move toward acquiring a nuclear weapon, that can be addressed. But if issues beyond this are introduced into the negotiations, the process could face difficulties."
"At present, the American side is thinking more realistically. In the past, they linked military and missile issues to the nuclear file, but now they are speaking only about the nuclear issue, which is a rational approach. Military matters are unrelated to the nuclear dossier," Larijani said.
