As Deadline nears France mistrusts Iranian Mullahs




"We need to be extremely firm, at the stage where we are now, things are still not clear," Fabius said in talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
France's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Sunday it was unclear whether an international deal could be reached on Iran's nuclear program by a June 30 deadline.
Fabius has said he would meet his Iranian counterpart on Monday to assess where Iran stands ahead of the final round of talks on its nuclear program, which begin later in the week.
Monday's bilateral meeting, on the sidelines of an EU foreign ministers' summit in Luxembourg, will be followed by a meeting between an Iranian agent and all the European parties negotiating with them.
In Luxembourg, the Iranian agent will also  meet   EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and ministers from Britain and Germany   to discuss the nuclear talks, an EU source said, calling it "a political meeting in the framework of ongoing negotiations."
  The parties are aiming for a final agreement by June 30 under which Iran would restrict its nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions.
France is deemed to have been one of the toughest in pressing for limits to prevent Iran acquiring an atomic bomb capability, although Tehran denies seeking nuclear weapons.
 Nucleartalks between Iran and six world powers have virtually stalled and a deadline for a final deal may have to be postponed again, Russian news agency TASS quoted a diplomatic source as saying on Friday, June 12.
Iran and the powers -- the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany -- are trying to reach a settlement by June 30 under which Iran would curb its nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions.
The United States has said it stands by the end-June deadline for the deal, meant to assuage Western fears that Iran is working to develop a nuclear bomb.
But other officials have indicated the date might be missed as negotiations about technical details drag on.
The latest round of discussions in Vienna on Friday had made no significant progress, the source from one of the missions said, according to TASS.
'The process has virtually stalled, there is risk that deadline will have to be postponed again,' TASS said the source added.
Among the unresolved issues is the pace of easing Western sanctions imposed over the Iranian program and the monitoring and verification measures to ensure Iran could not pursue a clandestine nuclear weapons program.
once again the Mullahs in Iran demonstrates this reality that the clerical regime and the Rouhani’s government have no intention to give up the project to obtain atomic bomb and any hope for changes within this regime is but a mirage that buys time for the mullahs to obtain the nuclear bomb, and continue to carry out further aggressions and  warmongerings in the region.
