In an exclusive interview with Al-Manar during his visit to Moscow to participate in the meeting of Shanghai foreign ministers, the Iranian FM Mohammad Javad Zarif said that what impedes the nuclear talks is the attempt to raise new demands and issues.

"If all parties get stuck to Lausanne understandings, we will be able to reach a nuclear deal," Zarif pointed out.

Hoping that the ongoing negotiations in Vienna achieve progress between Iran and the world powers, Zarif added that Tehran mulled with Moscow and Beijing the means of facilitating the nuclear talks.

On Yemen, the Iranian top diplomat noted that the political solution is a must to end the crisis, denouncing the military option which is admitted to strike the civilians.
