Nuclear Talks With Iran Need ‘Intensive Work,’ Envoys Say
A joint statement issued at the end of the latest round of talks on the Iranian nuclear dispute suggested that extensive disagreements remain.
"The talks took place against rising tensions surrounding Iran’s estranged relations with the West, punctuated by new flare-ups with both the United States and the European Union
on nonnuclear issues. The Americans have objected to Iran’s choice for a
new United Nations ambassador, contending that he participated in the
seizure of American hostages in Tehran in 1979. Iran has expressed anger
at European criticism of the country’s human rights record.
The
tensions have been further complicated by the crisis in Ukraine, which
has alienated the West from Russia, a member of the six-nation group
negotiating with Iran, raising questions about Russia’s commitment to
the success of the nuclear talks. The other five members of the group
are Britain, China, France, Germany and the United States."
Crazy. Not in a good way.
