[Al Arabiya Latest] The United States warned on Thursday that time was running out for Iran to avoid sanctions over its nuclear program and that Tehran's deadline was still the end of the year for responding to international demands, as the Syrian President defended Iran's nuclear program in his talks with an Iranian top official in Damascus.
"Time is running out. That deadline is the end of the year," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters in a news briefing.
Iran has resisted a deal with Western powers that would see its low-enriched uranium sent abroad for processing into uranium for making fuel. Gibbs said it was "pretty clear" that the Iranians were backing out of that agreement. |
