Monday 15 September 2014Iran says nuclear talks hit by disagreements
Agence France Presse TEHRAN: A top Iranian nuclear negotiator said Saturday that "disagreements over serious questions" persisted in the latest talks with the world powers on his country's atomic program. "After two rounds of negotiations with the European representatives, our positions have not been reconciled and disagreements over serious questions still exist," said Majid Takht-Ravanchi, who is also a deputy foreign minister. Takht-Ravanchi urged the so-called P5+1 group to "respect the red lines" drawn up by Iran to reach an agreement that would end the decade-old dispute. His remarks came after the Iranians and their European counterparts exchanged views Thursday in Vienna ahead of negotiations in New York on September 18. "We are always optimistic. But we have a difficult road to go," Tehran's lead negotiator Abbas Araqchi said after the latest talks with Britain, France and Germany, which followed a similar meeting last week in Geneva. The three EU nations form part of the P5+1 group with the United States, Russia and China due to resume negotiations with Iran in New York. The six powers, all of which except Germany sit on the UN Security Council and have nuclear weapons themselves, want Iran to scale back its atomic program to ease fears the Islamic republic gets the bomb. Tehran, which says its nuclear program is exclusively for electricity generation and medical uses, in return wants painful UN and Western sanctions lifted. On July 18, two days before a deadline to get a deal and after months of intense talks, Iran and the six powers decided to give themselves until November 24 to agree the accord. The main issue remains the size of Iran's capacity to enrich uranium, a process that can make fuel for peaceful nuclear uses but also the core of an atomic bomb.
