TEHRAN: Iran is ready to consider compromises to reach a nuclear deal with theUS if Washington is willing to discuss lifting sanctions, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the BBC in an interview published on Sunday.
Separately, Fars news agency quoted foreign ministry deputy director for economic diplomacy, Hamid Ghanbari, as saying Iran is pursuing a nuclear agreement with the US that delivers economic benefits for both sides.
He said, “For the sake of an agreement’s durability, it is essential that the US also benefits in areas with high and quick economic returns.”
“Common interests in the oil and gas fields, joint fields, mining investments, and even aircraft purchases are included in the negotiations,” Ghanbari said, arguing that the 2015 nuclear pact with world powers had not secured US economic interests.
