TEHRAN, April 20 (Xinhua) -- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday that Iran is currently negotiating in Vienna in a more "powerful" way than before, indicating the failure of the U.S. campaign of "maximum pressure" on Iran.
Iranian negotiators have "completely followed the framework designated by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei," Rouhani told a group of political activists in Tehran, as quoted by official IRNA news agency.
Khamenei has insisted that U.S. sanctions must be lifted before Iran returns to its compliance with the Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and warned against the country's participation in drawn-out talks.
Iran has no rush in the nuclear negotiations, but will not miss any chance either, Rouhani was quoted as saying.
Vienna talks have so far progressed to a large extent, the Iranian president said, adding that if Washington moves with honesty, the negotiations will reach a conclusion "in a short time." Enditem
