Despite repeated round of negotiations, there is increasing doubts on whether nuclear talks between the two countries will lead to an agreement.

His comments, reported by state media, cast further doubt on the likelihood of progress in the ongoing nuclear negotiations.

But Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi warned that negotiations would collapse if Washington insists on this condition.
Tehran maintains that its nuclear programme is solely for peaceful energy purposes.
Iran continues to be under pressure from Washington, with President Donald Trump last week cautioning that “something bad” could happen if Iran did not act quickly.
