He stressed that the remaining issues in the negotiations are related to the lifting of sanctions, "which are a few, but they are fundamental, delicate, and decisive." He also said that Tehran could not specify a timeframe for responding to the US proposals regarding the nuclear agreement, considering that negotiations are so far proceeding positively.
He said, "We will respond to the US proposals after completing their examination, but we cannot provide a specific timeframe."
Kanaani concluded his remarks with the hopes that "Washington will act rationally and make a political decision that guarantees our legitimate interests and demands."
