Nuclear Deal Within Reach, Says Iran President

TEHRAN March 23(Shana)--Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has said reaching a deal over the country’s nuclear program is possible, stressing that the P5+1 global powers should make a decision about the issue.

“I believe that reaching a final agreement is possible and there is nothing insolvable and the other negotiating side should also make a final decision about this issue,” Rouhani said.

He added that Iran has the necessary will for holding negotiations and clinching a nuclear deal within the framework of its principles and the bounds of its red lines.

Rouhani said Iran and the P5+1 have succeeded in making progress during their latest round of talks in the Swiss city of Lausanne.

In this round of the negotiations, Tehran and the six powers managed to reach common points on some issues of difference which can be used as the basis for a final agreement, he said.

Rouhani, however, stressed that gaps still remain between the two sides on certain issues.

He added that the negotiating sides could have settled the outstanding issues in the latest round of talks, but the two sides felt they needed more time and therefore decided to resume the talks within the next few days.
