Iran Rejects Media Reports, Analyses on Extension of N. Talks with Powers

TEHRAN - The Iranian foreign ministry on Wednesday strongly dismissed certain media reports and analyses on the contents of the nuclear talks underway between Tehran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) in the Austrian capital.

"The atmosphere of negotiations is serious and expert groups are also making use of the present time-table" to have parallel talks, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham told Iranian reporters on the sidelines of the nuclear talks in Vienna today.

Noting that negotiations are underway at the level of deputy ministers and experts, she said, "The news and numerous issues which have been seen in certain analyses on the extension of the talks are not correct."

Asked to comment on the content of the talks, Afkham only mentioned that details are now being reviewed and classified in the meetings of the deputy ministers and experts.

Iran and the six major world powers have already held 9 rounds of nuclear negotiations after inking an interim agreement in Geneva on November 24, 2013, and have only one more week to strike a final deal before the November 24 deadline.(FNA)
