John Kerry against further Iran sanction

US Secretary of State John Kerry has warned that further sanctions against the Iranian government could lead to the failure of ongoing nuclear talks.

Kerry told the BBC that the so-called P5+1, US, UK, France, Russia and China plus Germany, came “extremely close” to finalising a deal with Iran over the weekend.

Speaking to reporters before meeting senators on Wednesday, he said:

Kerry previously said that the differences between the P5+1 and Iran over its nuclear programme can be overcome.
