US-IRAN-FRANCE All Tested By Geneva Nuclear Talks

摘要

French intervention that contributed to blocking an interim agreement over Iran's nuclear enrichment program late last week in Geneva has been both applauded and jeered for interjecting the threat of failure into what had become a relative lovefest between US and Iranian officials. After three decades with essentially no official bilateral contact, diplomatic relations have warmed so much over the past three months that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javid Zarif and US Secretary of State John Kerry are now sitting down for seven-hour stretches in direct talks.
