    Marandi to Al Mayadeen: Iran insists on receiving guarantees for the deal, in light of past experiences

Dr. Mohammad Marandi, Advisor to the Iranian delegation to the Vienna Talks, told Al Mayadeen on Saturday "I don't think anything major was achieved today."

Marandi added that his country insists on seeing Washington and the Europeans abiding by their [nuclear] commitments so that the past deception is not repeated.

Marandi asserted that Iran was deceived in 2015, because then-President Barrack Obama obstructed the implementation of the deal, and Trump withdrew from it, stressing that Iran insists on guarantees for implementation in light of past experiences.

The delegation's advisor announced that there is a strong chance that the talks will fail because Iran will accept nothing less than its rights, noting a small change in Europe's position.

He clarified that all drafts for Iran are part of the negotiations in the talks and said that Iran's ballistic missile trials have nothing to do with the JCPOA, nor are they in violation of Security Council resolutions.

Yesterday, Marandi said that the Europeans have changed their position slightly on the two drafts which the Iranians previously submitted.

In an interview with Al Mayadeen, he indicated that the change in the European position is a "good sign," revealing that for the Iranians the final paper must recognize Iran's full rights.

Bagheri Kani on Vienna talks: nothing less than JCPOA

Iran’s lead negotiator said today that Tehran will not accept anything less than the nuclear agreement it signed with world powers in 2015, stressing that the issue will remain Tehran’s red line at the ongoing talks in Vienna.

"We will definitely agree to nothing less than that agreement and this will certainly be a red line for the Islamic Republic of Iran,"  Ali Bagheri Kani told Press TV on Saturday.

“We have a basic red line, which is backed up by logic,” he said, adding, “We have an agreement that was finalized by Iran and the P5+1 in 2015. The US withdrew from it a few years later and now it wants to rejoin that deal. So, this agreement is a shared basis between the two sides."

He said several points of difference have remained unresolved in the draft text that was the outcome of the six rounds of talks held between April and June, adding that they required decision-making at the highest levels.

The lead negotiator explained that some of Iran's proposals were accepted by the opposing side, while others were not.

As for the remaining issues of contention, they “will form the core of serious negotiations at the level of senior negotiators of Iran and the P4+1."
