Iran-P5+1 talks merely nuclear: Larijani

Iran’s Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani says Tehran’s nuclear energy program is and will be the only subject on the agenda of the talks between Iran and the P5+1 group.

 According to Press TV, Larijani, in an interview with Al-Mayadeen TV on Sunday during the negotiation with the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany said, “The issue of Iran’s nuclear talks has nothing to do with other issues and we will solely have nuclear discussions.”‌

The top Iranian parliamentarian said that the West is after adventurism in nuclear negotiations while Iran is seeking a political settlement of the issue.

Referring to the comments made by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei that he is “not optimistic”‌ about Iran’s nuclear talks with the P5 + 1 group, Larijani said “Iran’s Leader believes that the US does not seek to hold constructive talks… Experience has proved it.”‌

Earlier on February 17, Ayatollah Khamenei said that the nuclear issue is a pretext, adding that if the nuclear issue is resolved according to Washington’s wishes, the Americans will find new pretexts.

The Iranian Majlis speaker further said that nuclear negotiations between Iran and the sextet have long been underway and have nothing to do with Iran-US talks.
