On a visit to Brussels, the top Iranian negotiator also touched on the unjust sanctions imposed on the Iranian people.
Furthermore, Bagheri considered news reported by Reuters regarding the resumption of negotiations with the "5 + 1" group an “espièglerie”, stressing "our negotiations are with the "4 + 1" group, and the ground has not been prepared for Americans to return to the nuclear deal."
The top Iranian negotiator stated Wednesday that the Vienna talks will resume by the end of November.
On Oct. 23, Iranian foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian revealed, during a meeting with the new Secretary-General of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) Khusrav Noziri, that reviving Iran's nuclear deal with the 4+1 Group "will resume soon".
Recently, a senior US official has stated that the US hopes to resume nuclear talks with Iran soon.
"We're hopeful we can be back in Vienna (for talks)... in a fairly short period of time," the senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told reporters.
In the same context, the Iranian Foreign Ministry has announced that Iran will soon be rejoining the talks before November, after their suspension last June.
Six rounds of talks were held between Iran and international powers, including France, in Vienna during the period between April and June, in an attempt to revive the nuclear agreement.
