Iran Talks to Continue After Nuclear Deal Stalls 
-------------------------------------------------


 
Nuclear talks between Iran and six world powers have ended without a
deal in place. The two sides were reportedly close to reaching a
short-term agreement that would see a limited relief of sanctions on
Iran in return for a slowdown of its nuclear activities. But the pact
collapsed after France refused to sign on. On Sunday, Iranian president
Hassan Rouhani said the right to enrich uranium remains a "red line" his
government will never give up.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani: "We have shown those on the other side
of the negotiations, both verbally and through our actions, that,
threats, sanctions, belittling and discrimination will not work, not
under any circumstances. For us there are red lines that cannot be
crossed. The rights of the Iranian nation are our red lines, national
interests are our red lines and that includes our rights under the
framework of international regulations and enrichment on Iranian soil."
