"We want nothing more than our rights because Iran's nuclear diplomacy is and will be based on the Supreme Leader's religious decree [fatwa] and also on the 100-percent peaceful strategic calculations," Zarif said at a Nuclear Diplomacy Conference in Tehran, Farsnews reported.
Zarif stressed that "they cannot act against our interests in the region anymore" and that Iran has "never been a nuclear threat to any country and nuclear weapons are a threat to security."
Tensions have continued to grow after no agreement was reached during talks on November 24 in Vienna, Austria, between Tehran and the P5+1 group consisting of Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, France and Germany. In a bid to arrive at a comprehensive deal, a decision was taken to extend the dialogue until July 1, 2015.
