“The basis of nuclear negotiations is [making] efforts to reach common views and mutual confidence and we believe that all sanctions should be lifted all at once,” Rouhani said in a meeting with Italy’s Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni in Tehran on Sunday.
He added that the sanctions have even harmed the 28-nation European Union.
“Iran has always honored its commitments and it is currently clear to everyone that Iran is a completely serious side in the talks,” Rouhani said.
He said there is no option but negotiations to settle the outstanding issues about the Iranian nuclear program.
Iran and the P5+1 global powers -- Britain, France, China, Russia, and the United States plus Germany – are making attempts to narrow their differences on the outstanding issues related to Tehran's nuclear program ahead of a July 1 deadline for reaching a comprehensive deal.
The scale of Iran’s uranium enrichment and the timetable for the removal of anti-Iran sanctions are seen as the major stumbling blocks in the talks.
