Iranian FM Slams US Kerry’s Remarks on Geneva Talks

International

TEHRAN -Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad JavadZarif slammed his US counterpart John Kerry’s remarks in the United Arab Emirates on the latest nuclear talks between Iran and the world powers in Geneva, accordingto FNA.

“Mr. Secretary, was it Iran that gutted over half the US draft on Thursday night? And publicly commented against it Friday morning?” Zarif asked in a riposte on Twitter directed at John Kerry.

“No amount of spinning can change what happened within the (six powers) in Geneva from 6 p.m. Thursday to 5:45 Saturday. But it can erode confidence,” he added, the Islamic republic news agency reported.

The latest round of talks between Iran and the Group 5+1 was held in Geneva from November 7-9.

The two sides described the talks as constructive and progressive and decided to continue their discussions on November 20.

Kerry made the remarks while it was French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius who blatantly opposed to making any deal with Iran during the talks and in an undiplomatic gesture claimed that the talks had no results prior to Zarif’s joint press conference with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.

Meanwhile, all diplomats present in Geneva had stressed that the talks had progresses.
