Iran Underlines Importance of Final N. Deal with Powers for Reinvigoration of Global Peace

(FNA)- Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ebrahim Rahimpour said that cutting a final nuclear deal between Tehran and the six major world powers will pave the way for the country's more active presence in the settlement of the regional and international disputes.

"The Vienna nuclear talks is the most important negotiations of the 21st century and we try to achieve a comprehensive and fair agreement that would help reinforce peace and security of the world and the region," Rahimpour said, addressing the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit meeting in Ufa, Russia, on Friday.

He underlined that Iran is now in a sensitive stage of negotiations to settle its nuclear dispute with the West.

Iran and the Sextet of world powers are currently in intense talks to narrow down their remaining differences to be capable of cutting a win-win final nuclear deal in the Austrian capital city of Vienna.

On Thursday night, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif left a new post on his Twitter account, saying, "We're working hard, but not rushed, to get the job done. Mark my words; you can't change horses in the middle of a stream."

Minutes later, US Secretary of State John Kerry also appeared in front of the cameras in Vienna, and said, "Despite all the agreements we have made so far, some tough issues have remained unresolved."

"These issues should be resolved. And tough decisions should be made," he added, and continued, "We want a deal that stands the test of time."

Kerry said the negotiations are not open-ended, but he didn't say how long the talks would last.
