Clinton puts burden on Iran to close gap in nuclear talks

US: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday put the burden on Iran to close the gaps with the United States and five other world powers in talks over the Islamic republic's nuclear program.

Iran and the six powers closed two days of "very intense" nuclear talks in Baghdad Thursday with little to show except an agreement to meet again next month in Moscow after sharp disagreements over the way forward.

The talks that also involve Britain, France, Germany as well as Russia and China "were serious," Clinton said during a press conference with New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully. AFP
