Rouhani: Iran, P5+1 Agree on Principle Issues, Differences on Details
Local Editor
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani confirmed that Tehran and world powers agree on the principles of a final deal on the Iranian nuclear program but that differences remain on the "details" that still need to be negotiated.
Rouhani added: "Iran and the six-nation group - the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany - have come a long way in sorting out major issues but that they still differ over issues such as "quantity."He further mentioned: " There is no difference between the two sides over whether a power plant should be constructed in Arak, or whether Iran should possess enrichment technology, or about the Fordow 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."
"Today, no one says Iran should be eliminated from equations and developments, and everybody admits that Iran is not omissible. All countries have said that Iran should play its role in fighting terrorism and there is no doubt about this," the Iranian president added.
He did not elaborate. He spoke with lawmakers on Tuesday night, according to the Iranian state television.
The two sides face a Nov. 24 deadline to reach a comprehensive deal. The nuclear talks reportedly remain stuck over the size and output of Iran uranium enrichment program, a possible pathway to nuclear arms.
