The United States and the Iranian regime held high-level talks in Oman on Sunday ahead of a looming deadline for a nuclear deal, but U.S. President Barack Obama warned that a “big gap” remained.<\/p>\n
US Secretary of State John Kerry met the Iranian regime\u2019s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Muscat, the Oman capital, about the long-running nuclear negotiations.<\/p>\n
President Obama told CBS News in an interview broadcast Sunday. “Are we going to be able to close this final gap so that (Iran) can re-enter the international community, sanctions can be slowly reduced and we have verifiable, lock-tight assurances that they can’t develop a nuclear weapon?”<\/p>\n
“There’s still a big gap. We may not be able to get there.”<\/p>\n
The first round of talks took place Sunday morning with a break for lunch and consultations before resuming again in the early evening.<\/p>\n
Kerry, Zarif and Ashton will sit down for more talks in Oman in Monday. The talks are expected to continue on Tuesday at the political directors’ level.<\/p>\n
The Iranian regime is still failing to provide answers to questions related to the military dimension of its nuclear activities, the UN atomic watchdog said Friday.<\/p>\n
The International Atomic Energy Agency said in a new quarterly report on Friday: “Iran has not provided any explanations” on two issues that Tehran had undertaken to clarify by August 25 regarding the military dimension of their secret nuclear activities.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile on Friday, the U.S. Representative Office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI-US) revealed previously undisclosed information about the Iranian regime\u2019s illicit nuclear weapons-related activities at Parchin military facility in Tehran.<\/p>\n
The names of key officials, foreign experts and organizations involved in such clandestine activities and their responsibilities at Parchin will also be revealed.<\/p>\n
The NCRI-US revealed the names of key figures, officials, organizations, staff and foreign advisors that have been involved in the project.<\/p>\n
According to the information obtained by the network of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) inside the country, the chambers were built by a company affiliated to the Iranian regime\u2019s Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) as part of a highly classified project that only two senior officials were informed about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
