The position of French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius is prolonging a settlement of the Iranian nuclear program with the six international mediators, ITAR-TASS reports.
The Iranian stockpile of uranium enriched to 20% remains one of the main problems. Enrichment should drop to 5%. The six mediators need answers about the plutonium reactor at Arak.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said that the warm atmosphere of the previous round of talks in mid-October and the first two days of the current round has disappeared. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that the chances of signing an agreement on Saturday were small.
