The United States and the other permanent members of the U.N. Security Council said Thursday they were pleased by a new tone and attitude from Iran in talks aimed at resolving the impasse over its nuclear program and set a new round of negotiations for next month.

After a group meeting and then a one-on-one session between Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, Kerry called the talks "constructive" and said he was struck by a "very different tone" from Iran. But he stressed that words must be translated into action if Iran wants to prove it is not seeking to develop a nuclear weapon.

"We've agreed to try to continue a process that would try to make concrete and find a way to answer the questions that people have about Iran's nuclear program," Kerry told reporters. "Needless to say, one meeting and a change in tone, that was welcome, does not answer those questions."

"All of us were pleased that the foreign minister came today and that he did put some possibilities on the table."

3. US, Others Pleased With New Iranian Attitude In Nuclear Talks, Set New Round Of Negotiations

The U.S. and the other permanent members of the Security Council have good reason to be optimistic by the welcome new tone and attitude from Iran in talks aimed at resolving the impasse over its nuclear program. Mr. Kerry said he was struck by a very different tone from Iran. But stressed that they expect Iran to show signs that prove it is not seeking to develop nuclear weapons.

This meeting marks the first time Iran has pleased the Security Council with a new tone and attitude. Now words must be translated into action if Iran wants to prove it is not seeking to develop a nuclear weapon.
