In a tweet, Shamkhani considered that the “show of lifting sanctions is not considered constructive.”

Real, effective and verifiable economic benefit for #Iran is a necessary condition for the formation of an agreement. Show of lifting sanctions is not considered constructive. #ViennaTalks

Earlier today, the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, affirmed his country's right to preserve nuclear capabilities and peaceful uses, explaining that "Iran's legal right to continue research and development cannot be preconditioned."

State Department spokesman Ned Price tweeted in response to talks of concessions on the US’ part, “We did NOT provide sanctions relief for Iran and WILL NOT until/unless Tehran returns to its commitment under the JCPOA.”

He added, “We did precisely what the last administration did: permit our international partners to address growing nuclear proliferation and safety risks in Iran.”

Last week, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi stressed to his French counterpart that Iran "has shown its will and seriousness to reach an agreement in the negotiation process," pointing out that "any effort by the other side in this regard should include the lifting of sanctions, verification, and valid guarantee."

Regarding the talks with the P4+1, Raisi asserted that Iran would proceed with the talks, but they are not everything, in a nod to the removal of sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
