Tangible progress on key issues

Announcement0 Comments

Speaking at negotiations in Vienna, Austria, where Iran and world powers are meeting over Iran’s nuclear program,  Kerry tells reporters there have been  “tangible progress on key issues,” but  negotiators have yet to arrive at a “workable formula.”  Despite differences, Kerry believes there is a way to make this work ahead.

But and this is a critical point while there is a path forward, Iran needs to choose to take it. And our goal now is to determine the precise contours of that path, and I believe we can.

Joins world powers for nuclear talks

Announcement0 Comments

Kerry arrives in Austria for talks with five other world powers, Germany and Iran concerning Tehran’s nuclear program.  The participants are in the final round of negotiations to reach a permanent deal on Iran’s nuclear program before the July 20, 2014 deadline. The talks include the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council: the U.S., UK, France, China and Russia. Germany is also participating in the talks. Kerry states

Obviously, we have some very significant gaps still, so we need to see if we can make some progress. I really look forward to a very substantive and important set of meetings and dialogues. It is vital to make certain that Iran is not going to develop a nuclear weapon, that their program is peaceful.
