Nuclear Talks

Kerry says Iran walked out; IAEA and Iran seal deal

AFP, Abu Dhabi
Secretary of State John Kerry yesterday defended US moves to reach a nuclear deal with Iran, saying it would protect Israel and stressingTehran walked away from the deal.
His comments came as France yesterday said that world powers were close to an agreement with Iran on its disputed nuclear drive, despite failure to reach a deal at crunch talks in Geneva on the weekend.
Kerry's remarks also come as Israel and the US are locked in a bitter war of words over the negotiations to halt Iran's nuclear drive, which is believed to be a front for developing a military capability.
"Our hope is that in the next months we can find an agreement that meets everyone's standards," Kerry told reporters in Abu Dhabi.
"The P5+1 was unified on Saturday when we presented our proposal to the Iranians... But Iran couldn't take it, at that particular moment they weren't able to accept," he said.
The top US diplomat insisted that a deal with the Islamic republic would protect Israel and other allies.
In recent days Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has furiously denounced the emerging agreement as "dangerous" while his defence minister, Moshe Yaalon, called it a "historical mistake."
Kerry insisted that the United States has the interests of ally Israel at heart and that he shares Netanyahu's "deep concerns".
"But I believe the prime minister needs to recognise that no agreement has been reached about the endgame here that’s the subject of the negotiations," said Kerry.
He said sanctions were imposed on Iran to force it to negotiate.
"And if we had to turn to a military option, because we are left no other option, we must show the world we've exhausted every possible remedy and opportunity."
Israel views a nuclear Iran as an existential threat and has
said it will not be "bound" by any world deal with Tehran, refusing to rule out the threat of military action to halt it.
"Iran gives practically nothing and it gets a hell of a lot. That's not a good deal," Netanyahu told GBS on Sunday.
And in a speech to Jewish-American leaders in Jerusalem he added, "It is a bad and dangerous deal that deals with the thing that affects our survival. And when it comes to the question of Jewish survival and the survival of the Jewish state, I will not be silenced."
But Kerry insisted in Abu Dhabi that "war should be the last resort" to resolve the dispute with Iran and that no state has "existing right to enrich".
The Iranian press, on the other hand, yesterday rounded on France and its top diplomat Laurent Fabius, after reports emerged he scuttled a deal in nuclear negotiations in Geneva at the weekend.
"France ruined its image in Geneva," where talks between Iran and world powers sunk after Fabius expressed dissatisfaction with a draft text of an agreement, the English-language Tehran Times said.
According to the government-run Iran daily, Iranian businessmen have decided to
"review their relations" with their French counterparts and find "a more trustworthy partner."
Meanwhile, Iran and the UN nuclear watchdog agreed yesterday on a "roadmap for cooperation" over Tehran's controversial atomic drive.
The announcement of the breakthrough came during a visit to Tehran by International Atomic Energy Agency chief Yukiya Amano.
"The joint statement that was signed today details a roadmap for cooperation that determines mutual steps to resolve remaining issues," Iranian nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi said at a joint news conference with Amano.
Amano hailed the deal as "an important step" but added "much more must be done", in remarks were carried by the I SNA news agency.
