US sees 'steady' progress in Iran n-talks
 

Washington, July 30 (IANS) The chief US negotiator in Iran nuclear talks Tuesday cited "significant and steady" progress over the past six months, but would **t say whether the negotiations would be further extended. "I can**t tell you today that our diplomacy will succeed because I am **t sure that it will," Xinhua quoted Wendy Sherman, undersecretary of state for political affairs, as telling senators at a hearing. "I can tell you that the past six months, we have made significant and steady progress," she said. "We've exchanged ideas, narrowed gaps on key issues, and identified areas where more hard work is required." Under an interim deal reached between Iran and Britain, France, the US, Russia, China, and Germany that went into effect Jan 20, Iran would suspend some sensitive nuclear activities in exchange for a limited sanction relief, and the two sides will negotiate over a comprehensive deal within six months.
