Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that he trusts in the country`s
nuclear negotiating team 100 percent.
"Diplomacy is the only way to resolve the issue," he said, Iran`s ISNA News
Agency reported on Dec. 15.

"The world has no other option but to sit down at the negotiation table with
Iran. All the other options are nothing but mistake. They will be at loss if
they continue their previous mistakes," he said.

Iranian nuclear negotiating team is currently in the Swiss city of Geneva to
hold a new round of talks with the representatives of the P5+1 group of
countries.

The talks are scheduled at the deputy level on December 17th.

According to Iranian sources, the scale of uranium enrichment and the
timetable for the lifting of anti-Iran sanctions are seen as the major
sticking points.

comprising of China, France, Russia, Britain, the US Plus Germany) sealed an
interim deal in Geneva on November 24,2013 to pave the way for the full
resolution of the West’s decade-old dispute with Iran over the country’s
nuclear energy program.

The Geneva deal took effect on January 20 and expired on July 20.

However the two sides agreed to extend their talks for four months till Nov.

24 to reach a permanent deal on Iran`s disputed nuclear program.

During a meeting held on November 24, 2014, the sides agreed to extend the
talks for further seven months.
