“It is correct to say that we have reached a conclusion on a large portion of the issues under discussion,” foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said during a weekly news briefing.
“But to say that this means the signing of an agreement is imminent—no one can make such a claim,” he said, accusing Washington of shifting its positions.
A top administration official said on Sunday that the Iranians have agreed to a deal that would include getting rid of highly enriched uranium.
However, work is still being done to finalize the deal.
If Iran agrees to lessen its nuclear enrichment, the U.S. would also be willing to ease sanctions.
The official said that Iran seems more open to making deals now than it did before the military operation.
They say it doesn’t matter if the promise is for 20 or 30 years; what matters is how it will be enforced.
The source said they think the deal will go further than the Obama administration’s 2015 nuclear deal, which let enrichment go up to a certain point.
