Iran’s actions and continued defiance remain a concern for the countries involved in the negotiating process. The US has indicated time is running out for Tehran to comply with resolutions and accept the negotiations with the six world powers.

Glyn Davies, US chief delegate to the IAEA,said, “The United States remains firmly committed to a peaceful resolution to the international concerns over Iran’s nuclear programme. We also remain willing to engage Iran, to work toward a diplomatic solution to the nuclear dilemma it has created for itself, if only Iran would choose such a course, but our patience, and that of the international community, is limited.”
