Ali Shamkhani, the secretary-general of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, met with lawmakers to discuss the latest developments of the nuclear negotiations taking place in Vienna.

Shamkhani said of the remaining issues yet to be resolved in the talks, “Bitter experiences of US lack of commitment and Europe’s lack of action has made meeting requirements for a reliable, balanced and durable agreement difficult.” He added that in addition to having the sanctions removed, Iran is working on making sanctions “ineffective” and that they have taken positive steps in this direction.
