  During talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani described as disappointing the package of proposals to preserve the Iran nuclear deal submitted by France, Britain and Germany, according to a statement posted on Rouhani’s official website on Thursday.

  “Unfortunately, the proposed package lacks a practical solution and a specific method for continuing cooperation and simply reiterates the general nature of the commitment, similar to what the European Union did in its statements earlier,” Rouhani stressed, calling the proposals “disappointing.”

  However, Angela Merkel reaffirmed in phone talks with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani that Berlin does not intend to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal and will continue work to preserve it, according to a statement posted on Rouhani’s official website on Thursday.

  The German leader noted that the package of proposals offered to Iran refers only to basic issues on the preservation of the deal, and it is necessary to conduct further dialogue to work out the details, the statement says.
  –
  “What’s really important is that we are confident that we want to remain in the deal,” Merkel said as cited by the document.
