UN Ambassador Power: Iran talks need more time
None
The US ambassador to the UN says the Obama administration needs more time, without new sanctions, to pursue a deal with Iran on nuclear weapons. "We have to test this regime," Samantha Power says adding that one key obstacle is the "generations of suspicion" between the two countries.
Asked about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's assertion that Iran is taking advantage of US and international patience, Power says she doesn't believe that's so. She says, in her words, "The sign that this is not a good deal" for Iran is that Tehran hasn't yet accepted it. (Reuters)
