RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Ayatollah Abbas Ka’bi, a renowned professor in the Islamic Seminary of Qom, referred to Iran’s ongoing negotiations with the P5+1 group of countries over its disputed nuclear program.
He said the Islamic Republic would like an absolutely fair and just agreement which accepts the demands of the Iranian nation and removes the sanctions imposed on Iran’s economic, financial, banking and currency sectors.
His Eminence stressed that by taking a reasonable and flexible stance on the red lines of the Iranian government and the Iranian people, everything will be provided for a fair and equitable final agreement, and if the Americans do not seek excesses, an agreement is within reach.
Ayatollah Ka’bi said that Americans have shown with their own history and through the basic strategy that they are using in the current negotiations that they seek to change the path of the Islamic Revolution.
