Le secrétaire d'État américain John Kerry a de nouveau rencontré lundi à Vienne son homologue iranien Mohammad Javad Zarif pour tenter de débloquer les discussions sur le dossier nucléaire.

« Nous sommes au milieu de pourparlers sur la prolifération nucléaire et pour freiner le programme de l'Iran, et je peux vous dire que c'est une négociation très dure », a déclaré M. Kerry, après une autre session de discussions avec son homologue iranien.

En dépit de la présence des ministres des Affaires étrangères allemand, français et britannique, aucune percée n'a été enregistrée après les discussions de dimanche.

Le principal point d'achoppement porte sur la capacité d'enrichissement d'uranium que réclame l'Iran. Dimanche soir, M. Zarif a déclaré qu'il restait encore « sept jours difficiles de négociation ».

Mais John Kerry serait attendu en Égypte mardi pour discuter d'un cessez-le-feu entre Israël et le Hamas.

Le secrétariat américain n'a pas indiqué si les deux hommes ont abordé le conflit israélo-palestinien qui a pris une nouvelle tangente lundi lorsque le Hamas a envoyé un drone en territoire israélien. L'Iran est un grand protecteur du Hamas et pourrait être la source du nouvel équipement militaire du groupe palestinien.

Le secrétariat n'a pas non plus indiqué si les deux hommes ont abordé le conflit syrien, derrière lequel Washington et Téhéran ont des intérêts.

Concernant les négociations sur le dossier nucléaire, les grandes puissances veulent des garanties sur la nature du programme iranien en échange d'une levée des sanctions.

« La confiance doit aller dans les deux sens », a répliqué dimanche Mohammad Javad Zarif sur son compte Twitter.

Assurant que l'Iran faisait « un effort sincère », il a dit « attendre la même chose » des négociateurs du groupe 5+1 (Chine, États-Unis, France, Royaume-Uni, Russie et Allemagne).

Un accord conclu en novembre 2013 à Genève a permis un gel du programme iranien contre une levée limitée des sanctions. Cet accord d'étape est censé devenir définitif au 20 juillet.

INOLTRE SU HUFFPOST

Ahmadinejad out, Rouhani in
The thaw in relations owes a lot to this guy - president Hassan Rouhani, who was elected in June 2013.\n\nIn the 19 months between the British embassy closing and Rouhani\'s election, relations between Britain and Iran failed to improve - Britain even sending a warship to the Gulf over fears Iran may block the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.\n\nBut Rouhani\'s election marks a sea change. He is seen as more moderate than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and is elected promising to improve relations with the West.\n\nHis election prompts Britain to say it is interested in improving relations \"step by step\".
Rouhani addresses the UN
Rouhani visits New York City in September 2013, three months after his election. It is seen as a major break with his predecessor\'s line on \"The Great Satan\" and signals a desire to improve US/Iran relations.\n\nHe addresses the UN, saying \"peace is within reach\" and offers negotiations to allay \"reasonable concerns\" the West has over his country\'s nuclear programme.\n\nIn the same month, foreign secretary William Hague meets with his Iranian counterpart. Hague said he welcomed Iran\'s offers to slow down its uranium enrichment programme.
Obama and Rouhani's historic phone call
September 28 2013 - A 15-minute phone call between Obama and Rouhani is hailed as a historic moment that ends the 34-year diplomatic freeze between the two countries.\n\nIt is the first conversation between an American and Iranian leader since 1979.\n\nRouhani tweeted about the conversation, saying Obama ended it by saying \"goodbye\" in Farsi.\n\n

Diplomats exchanged
In the same month, foreign secretary William Hague meets with his Iranian counterpart. Hague said he welcomed Iran\'s offers to slow down its uranium enrichment programme.\n\nIn October, Hague and Mohammad Javad Zarif (pictured right) announced that the countries will exchange diplomats with a view to re-opening permanent embassies in each country.
Cameron calls Rouhani
November 2013 - After Obama becomes the first American president to call the Iranian leader in 34 years, David Cameron calls him too, becoming the first prime minister to do so in more than a decade.\n\n\"The two leaders discussed the bilateral relationship between Britain and Iran welcoming the steps taken since President Rouhani took office,\" a Downing Street spokesman says.\n\n\"They agreed to continue efforts to improve the relationship on a step by step and reciprocal basis.\"\n\nCameron also implores Rouhani to be \"more transparent\" with Iran\'s nuclear programme, Downing Street says.
About that embassy...
Suddenly, being friends became a lot more urgent when ISIS took Mosul, Iraq\'s second city, and began tearing through the country executing opponents and imposing strict Islamic law on the population.\n\nThe Sunni militants\' rise has been blamed on the pro-Shia stance of Iraq\'s Malaki government.\n\nUnder Saddam, the country\'s Sunni minority dominated political life and fought an eight-year with Iran, which is a Shia majority country and does not like the idea of a terrorist army on its doorstep.
