US Secretary of State John Kerry suffers a broken leg after having a cycling accident in France.

The US secretary of state says the latest round of nuclear talks with Iran has been ‘very constructive’ but a top Iranian negotiator says some gaps still remain.

An analyst says ISIL is an American creation, fighting Washington’s enemies as a proxy.

Zarif and Kerry are to meet in Geneva to discuss Iran's nuclear program.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the US-led coalition against ISIL Takfiri terrorists has failed to succeed. Zarif said Iraq has made better gains in cases where the Iraqi nation has been involved in the fight against the terror group. He made the remarks before leaving Kuwait where he attended a ministerial meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. The Iranian foreign minister said many OIC foreign ministers insisted that the military campaign against Yemen should end as soon as possible and called for dialog to resolve the issue. The top Iranian diplomat added that certain countries try to impose their ideas on others over the crisis in Yemen. Zarif has now arrived in Athens and is scheduled to visit a number of Greek officials.

An analyst says the United Nations does nothing to protect the sovereignty of certain nations and only follows US’s regional policies.
