World powers 'completely united' in Iran talks - EU


    VIENNA (Reuters) - The six world powers negotiating with Iran over its nuclear programme are "completely united", an EU spokesman said on Wednesday, a day after France suggested there were differences between Russia and some of the others.

    The group of countries - the United States, Russia, France, Germany, China and Britain - "has been united and is still united," Michael Mann, spokesman for European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, told reporters. Ashton coordinates the talks on behalf of the six states.

    On Tuesday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said "differences in approach" between Russia and some of the other five world powers had appeared in the past few days.
