Iran has rejected a “false and baseless” report by Austria's domestic intelligence agency about the country's peaceful nuclear activities, calling on Vienna to provide an explanation for levelling “irresponsible” accusations at Tehran.

Iran says an interim agreement has not been a part of the agenda in the ongoing indirect nuclear talks with the United States.

Iran says new US sanctions announced ahead of the fifth round of indirect talks between the two sides cast doubt on Washington's seriousness to follow the path of diplomacy.

Iran says the US is pursuing a hostile approach toward the Iranian people and its claim of diplomacy should not be trusted.
