Iran talks productive but incomplete, Hillary Rodham Clinton

WASHINGTON: Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is calling the six-power talks with Iran on nuclear issues a productive session that has opened the door to a positive outcome.

Speaking to reporters at the State Department shortly after the Iran talks ended, Clinton cautioned that it was too soon to know whether Iran would respond with the concrete actions that she said the United States is hoping for.

She said more than gestures and discussions are required.

Clinton said she got a readout of the Geneva talks by telephone from the head of the U.S. delegation there, Undersecretary of State William Burns.
