Iran will agree to a final nuclear accord with six major
powers only if all sanctions imposed on the country over its disputed
nuclear work are lifted, President Hassan Rouhani said in a televised
speech on Thursday.
"We will not sign any deal unless all sanctions are
lifted on the same day...We want a win-win deal for all parties involved
in the nuclear talks," Rouhani said.
The tentative deal between Iran and the six powers
on curbing Iran's nuclear work, reached a last week in the Swiss city of
Lausanne, revived hopes of an end to sanctions in return for limits on
the Iranian atomic program.
Iran wants sanctions to be lifted altogether and at
once, but the United States made it clear on Monday that sanctions
would have to be phased out gradually under the final nuclear pact.
A deadline for reaching the final agreement is June
30 and Iran, the United States, Germany, France, Britain, Russia and
China are expected to meet in the coming days to discuss the deal.
