Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has said that world powers must “seize the opportunity” of a landmark nuclear deal, insisting Tehran had taken the “necessary steps” for an accord.
Rouhani’s remarks on Tuesday appeared to be a response to US President Barack Obama, who on Monday said: “The issues now are – does Iran have the political will and the desire to get a deal done?”
Speaking in Tehran, Rouhani said that although gaps remain between Iran and the P5+1 powers – Britain, China, France, Russia and the US plus Germany – it was up to them to close a deal.
“Right now good progress has been made although we are some distance away from the final agreement,” he said during a meeting with India’s national security adviser, Ajit Rouhani.
“Iran has taken necessary steps and now it’s the other side’s turn to seize the opportunity,” he added.
