Speaking on the most recent round of talks over Iran's long-disputed nuclear issue, Zarif said despite some remaining differences, "we have never been closer to a lasting outcome. But there is no guarantee."
"Some stubbornly believe that military and economic coercion can ensure submission," he said.
However, he added that his negotiating partners in nuclear talks "have recognized that coercion and pressure never lead to lasting solutions."
According to Zarif, Iran is ready to strike a balanced and good deal.
"Only balanced agreements can withstand the test of time," he said.
- As US State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf announced on Tuesday, the fresh round of nuclear talks was extended from June 30 to July 7.

Iran says makes new proposal in nuclear talks, West unimpressed....
ReplyDeleteIran has offered "constructive solutions" to resolve disputes in nuclear talks with six major powers, the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) reported on Wednesday, but Western officials suggested they had heard nothing new from Tehran.
Iran and the powers are in the last stretch of talks to reach a final agreement to end a more than 12-year standoff over Iran's nuclear program. The aim is to lift sanctions in exchange for at least a decade of curbs on the program.
"Iran has presented constructive solutions to overcome the remaining differences. We will not show flexibility regarding our red lines," an Iranian diplomat, who was not identified, told ISNA.
But Western officials indicated they had yet to see substantive new proposals. The biggest sticking points include issues such as a United Nations arms embargo, U.N. missile sanctions, the speed of sanctions relief, and research and development on advanced nuclear centrifuges.
"I haven't seen anything new from Iran," a Western diplomat close to the talks told Reuters on condition of anonymity. Another Western official echoed the remarks...............reuters.com
