Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian asserted on Friday that his country is serious about the upcoming nuclear talks, and demands a "good and verifiable agreement."

"If other parties are ready to return to their full obligations and lift sanctions, a good and even immediate agreement can be reached," Amir Abdollahian said in a phone conversation with Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
