The spokesman for the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee said that the latest round of nuclear negotiations revealed “intense disagreements” over a variety of issues, including enrichment, Iran’s missiles and even the proposed methods of lifting sanctions, which would take into consideration human rights issues.

In what was described as the first part of a series of long interviews, Seyed Hossein Naghavi Hosseini spoke to Tasnim News Agency about the progress of the latest nuclear talks. The Iranian negotiators spent last week in Vienna with the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (P5+1) to begin the drafting process of a final nuclear deal. After previous negotiations, the Iranian team reported to the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, but is not clear whether it has this time around.
