Upon arriving in Vienna, foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Iran has entered the talks with quote an "unflinching determination" to reach an agreement.

Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iranian Foreign Minister, said, "Now we should start negotiating and drafting the text of the final agreement. Well, it is a difficult stage.

We have come here with unflinching determination to reach a result, to reach an agreement, while protecting the rights of the Iranian people."
