Iran Press News: Translation by Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzzi
According to reports by the regime's news agency ILNA, Mullah Hassan Rowhani, the regime's ex-nuclear negotiator and present director of the Strategic Center of the Assembly for the Analysis of Expedient Order, said: "The conditions being set by Europeans for the continuation of discussions are unacceptable."

Rowhani who spoke to the press at the 14th Session of the Assembly of Experts of the regime, added: "Cessation of our Uranium enrichment activities at our Esfahan plant is out of the question for us. The Islamic Republic has recommenced work at this installation and to stop everything all over again is simply preposterous; however we can discuss issues such as Natanz and other nuclear matters. At the moment the only thing that's happened is that these 3 European countries have put conditions on the continuation of discussions that we cannot tolerate."
