Tehran (Antara/Xinhua-OANA) - Iran expressed optimism Tuesday concerning a potential agreement in the coming days to solve the country's controversial nuclear problem, after about two years of intensive negotiations, as the nuclear deal deadline was extended to July 7.
The most recent round of nuclear talks between Iran and world powers, for a long-term deal over the latter's long-disputed nuclear program, was extended from June 30 to July 7 in the Austrian capital of Vienna Tuesday, U.S. State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf announced Tuesday.
"Most of the problems have been settled and the remaining significant issues might be solved in the ensuing days," Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said Tuesday.
"If an agreement is reached, we will commit to it provided the other party also commits to the terms," Rouhani was quoted as saying by state IRIB TV.
According to the deal, Iran will prove to the world that it was never after nuclear armament, he said.
Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad-Javad Zarif, was also optimistic regarding the imminent deal that would settle the country's disputed nuclear issue following months of vigorous talks.
"We want to reach an agreement, and I think it's possible," Zarif said following a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Vienna, according to official IRNA news agency.(*)
