Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on Wednesday warned against crossing “red lines” in negotiations with world powers aimed at reaching a lasting agreement over Tehran’s nuclear program, according to an AFP report.
“The red lines of the establishment must be preserved…,” said hardline Guards commander General Mohammad Ali Jafari, ISNA news agency reported.
Iranian regime’s officials have previously laid down “red lines” on the talks, saying they would not negotiate several issues, including the dismantling of nuclear facilities and reductions in the number of centrifuges at enrichment sites.
But according to a senior official in the US administration, Washington will seek to address these issues in a comprehensive deal.
“The objective of the talks is to lift the economic pressure on the people” caused by harsh international sanctions against Tehran, Jafari said. “So we must hold our breath, remain silent, and see what will happen in the talks.”
According to Mehr news agency, he also said: “I do not know what will happen … it seems we will encounter problems at the talks, which I hope we will not.”
