Khatibzadeh: Iran Won't Take Orders from "Israel"
As the Vienna Talks continue to progress, Israeli PM Bennett grows more hysterical, making relentless attempts to put the talks to a halt.
Occupation and dialogue don't mix
The Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Saeed Khatibzadeh, said that the Iranian delegation in the Vienna Talks will not take orders from the prime minister of the Israeli occupation.
After a phone call between the Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, and the US secretary of State, Antony Blinken, Khatibzadeh tweeted that the Israeli regime is making continuous attempts to stop the Vienna Talks, and said that it is no surprise that "Israel" is not a fan of dialogue, especially that it is built on war and terror.
As #ViennaTalks advances, Israeli regime shows its true color again, calling for immediate halt of negotiations.

Not surprising. Dialogue is always despised by the regime whose genesis is based on war, tension & terror.
Delegates in Vienna won't take instruction from Beit Aghion.
Israeli PM Naftali Bennett, in a phone call with Antony Blinken, today, called for the immediate cessation of the Vienna Talks, accused Iran of "nuclear blackmail" as a negotiation tactic for the talks, and demanded strict measures against Iran.
The talks
On Wednesday, Al Mayadeen's delegate in Vienna reported that the discussion in yesterday's session focused on the Iranian nuclear program and the rate of enrichment, noting that "Iran's message was clear, that there is no halting of nuclear activity during these negotiations." Moreover, the delegate added that the US "tried to pressure the Europeans in order for Iran to present a plan regarding its nuclear program."
Earlier today, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein AmirAbdollahian said that the "Vienna talks [are] proceeding with seriousness," stressing that lifting sanctions off Iran is a primary priority.
#ViennaTalks proceeding with seriousness and sanctions removal as fundamental priority.

Expert talks are continuing too.
In daily contact with top negotiator @Bagheri_Kani.
Good deal within reach if the West shows good will. We seek rational, sober & result-oriented dialogue.
On Tuesday, which was the second day of the negotiations, European diplomats suggested that 70 to 80 percent of the text of an agreement has been drafted in the talks.
