London - MENA
Western powers affirmed their unity of purpose in the Iran nuclear talks, urging Tehran to make difficult decisions.
The US, UK, French and German foreign ministers along with the European Union foreign affairs head noted substantial progress in the discussions with Tehran, which are due to resume next week, but said there was still no agreement on some important issues, the Daily Mail reported.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, Britain’s Philip Hammond, France's Laurent Fabius, Germany's Frank-Walter Steinmeier and the EU's Federica Mogherini said they were equally committed to reaching a satisfactory deal.
"We will all continue to work together with unity of purpose," read a joint statement following the talks in London, adding: "Now is the time for Iran, in particular, to take difficult decisions."
"Any solution must be comprehensive, durable and verifiable. None of our countries can subscribe to a deal that does not meet these terms," they said.
The ministers said: "We agreed that substantial progress had been made with Iran in key areas although there are still important issues on which no agreement has yet been possible. Now is the time for Iran, in particular, to take difficult decisions."
