The top U.S. and Iranian diplomats have begun a third day of talks over Iran's nuclear program in the Swiss resort of Montreux.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign
Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif resumed their discussions on March 4, hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that a deal meant to rein in Tehran's nuclear program could "pave Iran's path to the bomb" rather than block it.
The United States and five other powers are seeking a deal with Iran under which Tehran would limit its nuclear program, which Western nations fear could lead to the development of nuclear weapons, in exchange for sanctions relief.
Reacting to Netanyahu's speech to the U.S. Congress,
President Barack Obama said Netanyahu had offered no viable alternative.
The negotiating sides have set an end-of-March deadline for a framework agreement and a June 30 deadline for a full deal.
