Kerry and Salehi leave after nuclear talks

Описание: (23 Feb 2015) US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif completed another day of high-level talks on a nuclear deal between Iran and major world powers on Monday.
The talks at the President Wilson Hotel in Geneva, Switzerland, were also attended by Iran's vice president and head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, Ali Akbar Salehi, and the US Energy Secretary, Ernest Moniz.
The presence of Salehi and Moniz could improve chances of a deal by fast-tracking complex technical details of constraints on Iran's nuclear programmes that are acceptable to Tehran.
Western officials say the US decided to send Moniz only after Iran announced that Salehi would be attending.
A deal would look to curb Iran's nuclear programmes in exchange for sanctions relief for the Islamic Republic.
World powers and Iran have set an end of March deadline for a framework agreement, with a further four months for the technical aspects to be set.
The talks have missed two previous deadlines.
US President Barack Obama has said a further extension would make little sense without a basis for continuing discussions.
