"Iran's position is absolutely clear. Uranium enrichment will continue whether there is an agreement or not.
If the opposing parties want transparency about the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program, Iran is ready for this. However, the sanctions imposed based on allegations about Iran's nuclear program must be lifted," he added.
