Abbasi-Davani said that when the country's growth began covering satellites, missiles and nuclear weapons, the issue became more serious for them. Iranian officials pointed out a fatwa issued by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which bans the development of nuclear weapons, as proof that its atomic programme was for peaceful purposes. The former head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organisation said: Although our position on nuclear weapons based on the supreme leader's explicit fatwa regarding nuclear weapons being forbidden is quite clear, Fakhrizadeh created this system and his concern was not just the defence of our own country. The Telegraph reports that Iran enriched uranium to 60 percent this year, which is close to 90 percent required for a nuclear weapon.

Iranian official close to the talks told Reuters: Our demands are clear. Americans, and others, should decide whether they want this deal to be revived or not. They gave up on the pact, so they should return to it and lift all sanctions. Iran insists that all US and European Union sanctions are lifted since 2017 by the end of the day.

The return of the US to the nuclear deal would be meaningless without guarantees to prevent the recurrence of the bitter experience of the past. This opportunity is not a window that can be left open forever. British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss called the negotiations the last opportunity for the Iranians to come to the table after meeting Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid. Ms Truss said that they wanted the talks to work. All options are on the table if they don't work.
