Iran talks making enough progress to move forward, State Department says
US State Department Spokeswoman Tammy Bruce, asked on Tuesday whether the expiry of a two-month deadline for US-Iran talks meant they had failed, told reporters the talks were making some progress.
"The President makes that determination ... the funny thing about negotiations and discussions is that things happen and that there are conversations and progress is sometimes made, not tremendous progress, but enough to keep going."
"It is a dynamic, as it would be with any diplomatic consideration, that negotiations are meant to move things forward," she added. "And the good news is, is that, in fact, it would appear that things are moving forward, and that's what we all want."
The next round of talks were due to take place soon, she said, declining to specify a date.
