Iran and the European "Big 3" ended marathon nuclear talks in Vienna on Wednesday, failing to reach any agreement on a European proposal for an end to Tehran's uranium enrichment program.
A member of the Iranian team to the talks, Sirous Nasseri, was the only official available to give a short briefing on the outcome of the meetings, saying the talks had been held in a "friendly atmosphere and in goodwill."
Nasseri said the participants had agreed to continue the talks in their future meetings. According to IRNA, he said the next round of the talks would be held in Europe.
He said the Iranian party had provided the German, British and French teams with a reply to the European offer.
A western diplomat had early Wednesday cited the aim behind the talks as encouragement of Tehran to freeze its uranium enrichment program and nuclear fuel cycle. (albawaba.com)
