'US must stop bullying on N-issue’

A senior Iranian lawmaker says the United States must stop making excessive demands on Iran’s nuclear issue as Tehran and six world powers plan to hold a new round of negotiations.

“Westerners and the Americans should seize the opportunity and show their goodwill to Iran by November 24,” Spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Iran’s Majlis Hossein Naqavi Hosseini said on Tuesday.

If the Westerners and the Americans refrain from taking the chance and sabotage the nuclear talks, Iran will undoubtedly enjoy a better nuclear situation in the near future, he added.

The legislator added that during the nuclear talks, Iran has always shown its goodwill but there were disagreements among the P5+1 countries.

“They created obstacles by raising issues including non-nuclear topics, imposing sanctions in contravention of the Geneva deal and making excessive demands in the negotiations,” Naqavi Hosseini said.
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the United States, Russia, China, France and Britain – plus Germany have been discussing ways to iron out their differences and start drafting a final deal that would end the West’s dispute with Iran over the country’s nuclear energy program.

Tehran and the P5+1 countries are scheduled to hold the seventh round of talks on the sidelines of the 69th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Thursday.

Last November, Tehran and the six countries signed an interim deal in Geneva, which took effect on January 20 and expired six months later. In July, Iran and the six countries agreed to extend negotiations until November 24 this year after they failed to reach common ground on a number of key issues.
