Tehran's Provisional Friday Prayers leader Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani called on the western countries to seize the opportunity to reach a final nuclear agreement with Tehran on a win-win basis or wait for a win-lose result in Iran's interests.
Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the people on Tehran University campus on Friday, Ayatollah Movahedi Kermani said, "I advise the western countries to accept Iran's win-win offer which will be in the interest of the region, the West and Iran."
He noted that in case of not accepting Iran's offer there will only be a win-lose option waiting for the West.
Iran and its negotiating partners are currently in talks to iron out differences and achieve a permanent comprehensive deal.
The two sides sealed an interim deal in Geneva, Switzerland, last November. The accord took effect in January and extended until November 24, 2014.
Last month after a meeting with EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters that a common understanding is needed for the nuclear negotiations to bear fruit.
The Iranian foreign minister urged the West to seize the current opportunity to reach a final agreement with Iran.
