IRNA quoted Seyed Mehdi Hosseini Matin, Charge d’Affaires in the Iranian Embassy in London, in an interview with USA Today, in which the diplomat expressed cautious optimism that a possible agreement could be reached soon.

Matin also said that any alleged agreement requires an objective text to be discussed and signed.

The diplomat stated that negotiations between Iran and the United States are being mediated by Oman indirectly. He added that Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are playing their role in facilitating the talks.

As a responsible country, Iran has always announced its willingness to sign a stable and reliable agreement to guarantee the removal of sanctions not leaving other issues that could be used against this nation in the future, Matin concluded.
