Sanctions Should Be Lifted Once For All: Deputy FM

Tehran, Oct 28, IRNA – A senior member of the Iranian nuclear negotiating team Majid Takht-Ravanchi said Tehran is opposed to classifying sanctions into categories and believes they should be removed all at once. "It is high time for them to make the hard decision if they are sincere in their claims of favoring negotiations," he said criticizing the West for its greed. West has to make its hard decision now, he stressed. Ravanchi, who is deputy foreign minister for Europe and Americas, said Western countries seem to be interested in settling the issue but there are still people who, as before, want to sabotage the process of talks. He also said that Tehran was trying to get to its desired result in due time and that Iran was not seeking to extend the talks./end
