A senior Iranian lawmaker says the Iranian negotiating team will not back down from Tehran�s right to enrich uranium in the ongoing nuclear talks with the six world powers.
�The negotiating team will not retreat from the Iranian nation�s right to enrichment to whatever degree is needed by the country�s nuclear industry and it considers the issue as a redline and it will make no deals in this regard,� spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Iran Majlis, Seyyed Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, said in a Thursday interview.
�Everybody should trust the nuclear negotiating team, so that they would defend the rights of the [Islamic] establishment with strength and succeed in this regard,� he added.
Iran and six world powers -- the US, France, Britain, Russia, China and Germany -- on Thursday started the second day of their new round of talks over the Islamic Republic�s nuclear energy program.

Iran Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, also a nuclear negotiator, told Press TV on Thursday that the two sides agreed that any deal must include reciprocal measures.

�It�s still too soon to confirm anything, but this is a principle we have already agreed upon that any measures that should be taken by each side should be equal and balanced with the measures that the other side should take,� he said.

During the last round of talks in Geneva in early November, a first-step agreement was within reach but the position taken by French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius in favor of the Israeli regime and a lack of commitment by US Secretary of State John Kerry spoiled the negotiations.
