Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the two sides have "reached an understanding on main principles" and will work on potential agreement documents to exchange, though he cautioned this does not mean an agreement will come soon. "The path has started," he said.
Iran refused to discuss ballistic missiles or the principle of uranium enrichment during the talks. Tehran also rejected allowing American officials to join IAEA delegations in inspecting nuclear sites.
"We have entered certain details related to both the lifting of sanctions and nuclear subjects," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told state media. "We are ready to continue these talks as long as it takes. The issues are complicated. There is no trust between the two parties."
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said the country's nuclear program is "not for war" but for "agriculture, treatment and healthcare, and everything that depends on energy." He added: "What does it have to do with you Americans?"
