| Iran nuclear deal unlikely as split emerges in Western camp -diplomats Posted: 09 Nov 2013 11:10 AM PST  By Louis Charbonneau and Yeganeh Torbati GENEVA (Reuters) - Barring a last-minute breakthrough, talks between Iran and six world powers on curbing Tehran's nuclear ambitions were set to end without an agreement on Saturday as a split emerged between France and the other Western powers, diplomats said. The latest round of talks began on Thursday and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry unexpectedly arrived on Friday to help narrow remaining differences on a deal that would freeze parts of Iran's atomic program in exchange for sanctions relief. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that if there was no agreement this weekend, "the process will continue in one week or 10 days". French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius also said it was not clear the delegations would succeed in nailing down an acceptable interim deal that would begin to defuse fears of a stealthy Iranian advance towards nuclear arms capability.
