Iran Nuclear Talks to Resume in Geneva Thursday
"How can we keep Israel from doing anything about Iran's nuclear bombs, Manolo?"
"You could always return to the negotiating table, Mr. Secretary. I'll set your afternoon coffee and croissant on your antique French coffee table, sir, and send in your secretary for dictation in twenty minutes."
[An Nahar] Talks between experts from Iran and world powers on implementing last month's nuclear deal will resume on Thursday in Geneva, a spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said Wednesday.

"The technical talks will be resumed tomorrow and continue until Friday" in Geneva, Nabila Massrali told Agence La Belle France Presse via email.

The experts held four days of talks in Vienna last week but the Iranians walked out after Washington expanded its sanctions blacklist against Tehran.

Under a landmark November 24 deal struck in Geneva, Iran agreed to roll back parts of its nuclear program for six months in exchange for modest sanctions relief and a promise not to impose new sanctions.

But the United States last week put a dozen overseas companies on a blacklist for evading its sanctions, angering Tehran even though Washington said the new measures did not constitute new sanctions.

But Tehran said the measures were "against the spirit" of the November 24 deal.
