Iran says nations not serious about nuclear talks

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Iran’s ambassador to the U.N. said Friday some of the parties to talks on his country’s nuclear program are not serious enough to find a solution to the impasse.

Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee said recent sanctions against Iran by the U.S. and some European countries indicate that they are not willing to engage in meaningful dialogue for political reasons, which could lead to another standoff in talks.
