Kerry meets Iranian FM one-on-one, welcomes new positive tone on nuclear talks

After meeting one-on-one with Iran’s foreign minister, Secretary of State John Kerry says he is pleased with a new positive tone from Iran on talks over its nuclear program.

But, he says one meeting with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is not going to resolve international concerns about Iran’s nuclear intentions. Kerry said Thursday that Iran had to demonstrate its willingness to come clean about its nuclear program with actions.

Kerry spoke after he and the foreign ministers from the other four permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany met with Zarif on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. Kerry and Zarif then met privately for a short time.
