Referring to the West request for negotiations, Khatami said that Iran's presence at the negotiating table was not the fruit of sanctions.

Iranian nation, the Supreme Leader and all branches of power support good agreement between Iran and P5+1, he added.

Khatami said that if Iran and P5+1 fail to reach a final agreement, it will not be the end of world.

Meanwhile, Khatami expressed outrage at Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza and systematic assassination of the Palestinian activists in the Palestinian territories.

Iran has called on The Hague-based International Criminal Court to bring to justice the Israeli leaders for the heinous crimes they perpetrated against the Palestinian activists.

Iran says that Israeli leaders must understand that Israelis an occupying entity and the Palestinian activists have the right to go ahead with campaign against Tel Aviv regime to liberate their motherland.
