Time is very important for us; it is crucial.

And that's why Minister Araghchi has always said that we would be ready to stay here for a longer period, for days or even weeks, to finalize any agreement.

We hope to see the same level of seriousness and good intention on the part of the American delegation.

I would like to tell the dear government officials, the respected officials, that no matter how much effort they put into their work, they must double it. They must multiply it.

We have many resources. The existence of this inflation in the country is illogical. The fall in the value of the national currency to this extent is illogical. This must be corrected.

And God willing, it will be corrected. The respected officials have started some work. They must continue this work with seriousness, with accuracy, and with consideration of all aspects.

If it comes to closing the Strait of Hormuz, this force will carry out the operation in the shortest possible time.

The cooperation between India and France is now stepping up because of changes in the international order.

We will speed up our partnerships.

We will not be passive when faced with hegemony, and we will not fall into the trap of non-cooperation, as some have.

Peaceful nuclear industry is not for war; it is for running the country—for agriculture, for treatment and healthcare, and for everything that depends on energy. This is among the nation’s rights.

What does it have to do with you Americans?

There has been good developments compared to last round.

Two parties will work on potential agreement documents and exchange them. This does not mean that we will reach an agreement soon but the path has started.

I can say compared to the last round we’ve had very serious discussions and there was a constructive atmosphere where we exchanged our point of view.

Those ideas were discussed and we came to some agreements and some main principles. And based on those principles, we will eventually draft a document… We are hopeful we can achieve this.

When we reach the stage of drafting a document, naturally the process will slow down.
