Speaking at a meeting between cabinet members and parliamentarians on Tuesday, Rouhani said the two sides’ difference lied only in details.
“There is no difference between the two sides over whether a power plant should be constructed (facilities) in Arak, or whether Iran should possess enrichment technology, or about the Fordo center and the continuation of Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities, or whether alleged military issues should be resolved; and there is difference only about details and the quantity of matters,” President Rouhani pointed out.
The 7th round of talks between Iran and the Group 5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) was held in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting last month.
The two sides held six rounds of negotiations in Vienna to reach a comprehensive deal after they inked an interim agreement in Geneva on November 24.
The Geneva agreement took effect on January 20 and expired six months later on July 20. In July, Tehran and the six countries agreed to extend negotiations until November 24 after they failed to reach an agreement on a number of key issues.
