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