TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- Iran’s foreign ministry has condemned a request by the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to include its demands in the 2015 nuclear deal, accusing them of trying to derail the continuing talks in Vienna.
Foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh denounced the "irresponsible and immature” statement earlier this week by the GCC that said the talks must address concerns over Tehran’s enrichment program in addition to the participation of the regional bloc in the talks. "Their goal in bringing up such statements is to not ask for participation but to disrupt the process of technical talks in Vienna,” said Khatibzadeh.
