Iranian officials said Sunday the country made progress with world powers during "serious" talks over Tehran's nuclear program, but insisted the nation cannot be pushed to give up uranium enrichment as negotiations move into tougher ground over ways to ease Western concerns that Iran could one day develop atomic weapons.
The remarks on enrichment repeat past declarations on the country's "right" to produce nuclear fuel, which is a key element of the talks over its scope. But President Hassan Rouhani and his top envoys seek to assure hard-line critics that Iran will not make sweeping concessions in the negotiations, which ended without agreement in Geneva early Sunday and are scheduled to resume next week.

And just why are we still "negotiating"?!
When France takes a stronger stance than the US, we should be worried...
Iran dubs France a “gun-slinging frog” over nuclear deal failure
EXCERPT: “
France assumed the unfamiliar role of Iranian national villain on Sunday as senior officials and commentators in Tehran - long accustomed to spewing vitriol at Britain, America and Israel - blamed it for scuppering a deal on Iran’s nuclear programme.
A chorus of anti-French bile over the failure to reach agreement in Geneva appeared to have the endorsement of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, with a Twiiter account run in his name and believed to have his approval leading the charge. “
He did not lie about that.
I wouldn’t trust a muslim with a sharp knife, let alone nukes. That probably sounds bad but I’m 100% done with PC.
French (Frog) Cowboys? HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE
The US is irrelevant.
Funny how the press always touts the opposition line.
France is the bad guy, Republicans are the bad guys etc.
It’s never Iranian fanatics refuse deal, scupper talks...
But then I’ve just returned from four days in the deer
woods communing with god and can think clearly for a
while.
No deer, 14 year old nephew killed a hog though.
We must destroy Iran before it destroys America and Israel.
Iran has announced its plan a hundred times.
What will you say after Iran does what it has told the world it plans to do? Bandage the burned; bury the dead; borrow the money to rebuild?
Foolish and cowardly to let them keep going now.
That’s funny because I almost wrote “rounded scissors”. :)
When will Obama get the message and believe it?
The French were given their negotiating position by the Saudis. Eventually Kerry will have his Barzini moment when he realizes all along that it was Saudi Arabia who objects most to Iran’s nuclear ambitions and has been pulling the West’s strings.
Barzini moment — LOL.
Well, then O gets to either bow again or clean house. I hope he’s not President when he has to choose.
Uh oh. Rouhani shows Obama how the concept of a red line is used in the real world.
And here is more total nonsense:
Failure to reach Iran nuclear deal may fortify hardline opponents
As if the hardliners weren’t running Iran now...
Rouhani: Iran Won’t Give Up Nuclear Rights
http://www.voanews.com/content/rouhani-iran-wont-give-up-nuclear-rights/1787362.html
That’s the last time he told the truth.
You’d never see things like this if there was any American leadership (from your link):
“One Iranian posted on Facebook: ‘Lets give the French Embassy to the Americans.’
One joke asked with dark humor: ‘How tall are the French embassy walls?’”
The French are trying to fill the vacuum Obama has created. The only people involved who are playing like it’s life or death are Netanyahu and Rouhani.
Not the American President’s type of red line, I suspect. Imagine, leaders who mean what they say, like “Death to America”.
