The decision to reduce our commitments has already been made and we will continue unless our expectations are met, i don't think the progress made today will be enough to stop our process but the decision will be made in Tehran.

The nuclear deal is not linked to the regional issues ... Iran will not hold talks on its influence in the region, except for Yemen because of the humanitarian crisis there.

We are prepared to consider any initiative which can help this region become more stable and of course safer, so we can combat the real challenge and the real threat in the region which is terrorism, extremism and of course sectarianism which is a big threat to all of us in the region.

We believe that based on this final assessment the board of governors should close the so-called PMD issue.

Hopefully before the end of this year certainly we would have the implementation day.

We need an order by the president to the Iranian Atomic Energy Organisation to start the job. That would be done after some preparations that we still need to do in the coming days. So it would soon start.

We are on schedule and we think we can do this business instead of diluting. We can do the business and receive natural uranium in return for selling our enriched uranium to outside.

The U.N. Security Council's resolution says clearly that the timeframe of agreement is 10 years, and Iran's case will be closed in the Security Council after that, if the U.S. and any other member of P5+1 say they want to adopt a new resolution after 10 years allowing sanctions to be re-imposed, it is the breach of Vienna agreement and has no credibility.

The issue of interviews with nuclear scientists is generally off the table as well as the inspection of military sites, how additional protocol would be implemented is still a matter of disagreement that we are still talking about.

The talks are serious, complicated and detailed. The pace of talks is slow as we have entered final stages.

We believe that solving the technical components won't be difficult if there is veritable political will. If that is the case, the final deal can very likely be reached before the deadline.

We have to abide by the solutions and agreements that we reached in Lausanne, and we will only negotiate in that framework.
