Earlier, media speculated that political agreement on Iran nuclear dispute will be a two or three-page document.

Despite this, according to PRESS TV an Iranian informed source close to the nuclear negotiations with the P5+1 group has dismissed Western media hype surrounding Tehran’s peaceful nuclear program, saying Iran sticks to its principled stance in the talks.

“Western media hype about this issue is baseless,” the source told IRNA on Monday, adding that achievements previously made by Iran and the P5+1 countries are still in place.

Today Representatives of Iran and US involved in technical and political talks in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The technical talks are led by Iran Atomic Energy Organization Ali-Akbar Salehi and the US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and political talks are initiated by Iranian deputies foreign minister Abbass Araghchi and Majid Takht-Ravanchi with US Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman and EU Deputy foreign policy chief Helga Schmid.

Deputy foreign ministers of Iran and the US undersecretary of state have held a meeting in Lausanne after the end of a plenary meeting among top representatives of the Islamic Republic and the P5+1 group on Tehran’s nuclear program.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif held a meeting earlier with US Secretary of State John Kerry, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond and High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini.

The United States and Europe reportedly want the UN Security Council (UNSC) sanctions on Iran to be automatically reversible, meaning that if Iran violates the deal at any point, the UNSC sanctions will automatically be re-imposed on Tehran.

Russia opposes such a scenario, saying in such a case the UNSC should decide what to do. Moscow says automatic imposition of sanctions goes against the mechanism of the Security Council. China also reportedly shares Russia’s viewpoint and is against the imposition of automatically reversible sanctions on Iran.
