Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSeriousness about lifting sanctions on Iran and the avoidance of unrealistic demands on the part of the United States are key to ensuring effective nuclear talks in Geneva, a senior Iranian official tells Reuters.
The official, who declined to be named, claims Tehran is coming to the negotiating table with “genuine and constructive proposals.”
No further details are given.
