'Major Questions' Still Unresolved in Iran Talks, Says France's Fabius

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Friday that major questions remained unresolved in talks in Geneva that have raised hopes of a deal on Iran's disputed nuclear program.

"France wants a credible agreement on the Iranian nuclear program. For the moment, major questions have not yet been resolved, but we are working in Geneva in order, if possible, to achieve" a deal, Fabius said in a statement.

Fabius, along with the top U.S., British and German diplomats, rushed to join the talks in Geneva Friday after officials indicated there could be a landmark breakthrough after a decade of negotiations on Iran's nuclear efforts.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has also voiced caution at the talks, where officials have said they hope to sign a draft agreement that could see Iran freeze its nuclear program in exchange for the easing of sanctions.
