Iran Nuclear Talks at a “Sensitive and Critical Stage”

Bloomberg reported that US Secretary of State John Kerry said that no nuclear deal with Iran has yet been made, noting that “there are some important gaps that have to be closed.” Kerry, along with government members from France, Germany and the United Kingdom, is currently in Geneva to seek an accord over Iran’s recent nuclear activities.

As quoted in the market news:

During two days of talks in Geneva, world powers have edged closer to an accord over Iran’s disputed nuclear work. While all the details have yet to be worked out, a framework has been agreed upon, Zarif said yesterday in an interview. Iran has been offered ‘limited, targeted and reversible relief’ from sanctions in return for concrete and verifiable concessions on its nuclear work, White House spokesman Jay Carney said in Washington.

Talks are at a ‘sensitive and critical stage’ and Kerry’s presence is needed to resolve issues where differences remain, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, told journalists.
