(8 Nov 2013) US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday that there is no nuclear deal yet with Iran, but he's hoping to narrow gaps during negotiations.
Kerry is in Geneva for talks aimed at putting limits on Iran's ability to make nuclear weapons.
He said that important issues remain unresolved.
Officials with delegations at the negotiating table had expressed optimism about progress achieved in Thursday's full day of talks.
But comments from Kerry and his counterparts from Britain, France and Germany after they arrived in Geneva clearly indicated that some obstacles remain in the way of any first-step agreement offering a reduction in sanctions for nuclear concessions.
Six powers - the negotiators also include Russia and China - are considering a gradual rollback of sanctions that have stifled Iran's economy..
In exchange they demand initial curbs on Iran's nuclear programme, including a cap on enrichment to a level that can be turned quickly to weapons use.
The decision by Kerry and his European counterparts to fly to Geneva comes after signs that the global powers and Iran were close to a first-stage deal.
