"It’s fine (to compromise over the nuclear programme) because we were not supposed to build nuclear weapons from the start. It’s ok to negotiate, make the nuclear programme smaller or bigger, and reach a deal. Of course we shouldn’t give them everything. After all, we’ve suffered a lot for this programme, even me. Although I have a good income, I have been through difficulties because of this. That’s why I prefer a deal is made in a way that the structure is kept, while the Western governments are given necessary assurances."

"Yes they are negotiating but the Zionists won’t allow America to be in peace with us."

"If they want peace, we are ready to be at peace with them, the U.S, Britain, even Israel. If they behave well, we’ll be friends with them. If they want to bully us and use force, no one would submit to that. Our people are poor and have economic issues, but we won’t accept to give away our dignity, honour, religion and country to Mr. (Donald) Trump."

STORYLINE:
As Iran and the U.S prepare for a third round of talks, Iranians are hoping for a balanced deal that would lower tensions and averts the risk of war.
Negotiations between Iran and the United States over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear programme will return Saturday to the secluded sultanate of Oman, where experts on both sides will start hammering the technical details of any possible deal.
The talks seek to limit Iran’s nuclear programme in exchange for the lifting of some of the crushing economic sanctions the U.S. has imposed on the Islamic Republic closing in on half a century of enmity.
U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to unleash airstrikes targeting Iran’s programme if a deal isn’t reached.
Iranian officials increasingly warn that they could pursue a nuclear weapon with their stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels.
On the streets of Tehran, most people appeared to favour a balanced deal that would allow Iran to keep parts of its nuclear programme and reduce the risk of conflict.
