In a press interview on Saturday, Marandi added that Iran demanded throughout the negotiations that took place in Vienna to be granted tangible guarantees, rejecting the Western rhetoric that these guarantees go beyond the nuclear agreement.

Marandi explained that the Americans and Europeans were forced to gradually accept the Iranian demands, explaining that the tangible guarantees that Iran is now demanding are meant for the continuation of the nuclear agreement and do not fall outside the scope of the agreement.

Days ago, Marandi stated that "there was never any expectation that these negotiations would culminate in an agreement over a couple of days."  

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Marandi added that Tehran does not take US officials' media statements seriously, noting that the Americans should provide the guarantees that Iran demands to confirm that "history is not repeated."

He added that "Iran doesn't expect anything more, but it won't expect anything less", stressing that "there has been movement on the American side."
