Bagheri Kani added that "the Vienna negotiations will continue until today, Thursday, after which they will stop for three days and resume next Monday."
"Reviewing Iran's proposals regarding verification and guarantees is on the agenda in the Vienna negotiations, and all delegations emphasized the priority of discussing lifting sanctions and the verification and guarantees mechanism," the Iranian news agency quoted Bagheri Kani as saying.
