NOURNEWS – Mohammad Marandi, a member of the Iranian negotiating team has refuted the claim by a western newspaper that Iran revised its negotiating stance at the Thursday talks to save the Vienna talks.

"This is false & attempts to make western leaders look strong," Seyed Mohammad Marandi, a member of the Iranian negotiating team said on his Twitter account after posting an image of a news item by the Guardian newspaper that claimed Tehran revised its position after pressure from Russia and China in the Thursday talks between Iran and the P4+1.

Marandi further underlined, "Russia & China both declared full support for the complete removal of all sanctions."
