Iran says US must 'prove they want to do a deal' on nuclear talks in Geneva

Iran claims it is open to compromise with the U.S. on a nuclear deal if the administration is willing to discuss lifting sanctions, a senior Iranian official said Sunday.

Majid Takht-Ravanchi, Iran's deputy foreign minister, also said in an interview that the ball was "in America's court to prove that they want to do a deal," adding: "If they are sincere, I'm sure we will be on the road to an agreement."

"We are ready to discuss this and other issues related to our program if they are ready to talk about sanctions," Takht-Ravanchi told the BBC.
