Iranian FM reiterates resolve to defend uranium enrichment right

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Saturday voiced confidence that the ongoing negotiations with world major power in Geneva would not lead to the freeze of uranium enrichment in Iran. "We are discussing a three-step agreement and I assure you that Iran's right to nuclear enrichment will be included in any kind of deal," Zarif said in statement to reporters. "We are not ready to take a step that may disregard Iranian nation's rights and interests." Zarif heads Iran's delegation to nuclear talks with the Group of 5+1, or the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, namely United States, Russia, China, United Kingdom, France and Germany, currently held in Geneva. He stated that the negotiations are going well that "They are talking about details of an agreement about three steps deal, including the common goals, final image and preliminary measures". Primary talks were easier since they were centered on issues over which there were agreements, but now we have reached the point of differences, the foreign minister said
