Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said his country’s “firm conviction not to possess a nuclear weapon”, APA reports.

“Yet those who are willing to deprive Iran of our right to possess the nuclear programme for peaceful purposes, they have no right to do so,” he added.

Araghchi also said that Iran was “prepared to provide the necessary assurances to the Americans” during the sixth round of negotiations with the US that was scheduled for today in Oman.

“The previous round of talks, the Americans presented a number of proposals, which were not totally acceptable to us. We presented our response and our viewpoints, and we were supposed to present a counterproposal. Our proposal could have opened doors for an all-out agreement with the Americans,” he said.

Araghchi said Israel opposes reaching a deal between Iran and the US.

“This is a crystal-clear matter. Israel is not willing to see us reaching an agreement or a diplomatic solution with the United States,” he added.
