Multilateral negotiations over the Iranian nuclear programme that took place in Kazakhstan today are reportedly failing.

The group of six nations in talks with Iran – the United States, Britain, France, Russia, Germany and China – said they would ease sanctions if the Islamic Republic halted its suspected nuclear development programme.

"We are somewhat puzzled by the Iranians' characterisation of what they presented at this morning's plenary," a Western diplomat reportedly told Reuters news.

"There has not yet been a clear and concrete response to the...proposal (from the six powers)."
