BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 13. The indirect talks between Iran and the US regarding Iran's nuclear program haven't included details yet regarding the level and volume of uranium enrichment, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht Ravanchi told reporters, Trend reports.
According to him, the Iranian side stated as a framework in the discussions that it may accept a number of restrictions on the level and volume of uranium enrichment within a limited time frame as a confidence-building step.
"The announcement of this readiness by the Iranian side is assessed as a step in return for the lifting of sanctions. Iran's steps are not unilaterally lifted steps. On the contrary, they are put forward as confidence-building steps because Iran is trying to prove that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful," he noted.
The deputy minister added that the opposing sides should also take steps towards lifting sanctions in return.
