US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the Bush administration has "no deadline" for progress in diplomatic attempts to secure guarantees from Iran over its alleged nuclear arms program.
However, she reiterated that Washington is closely watching diplomatic negotiations between three major European countries and Tehran. "We've set no deadline, no timeline," she said Wednesday, according to AFP.
"The Iranians know what they need to do," she added. "The Iranians have to be held to their international obligations.
"We haven't set any timetables. We continue to be completely in close consultation with the Europeans, about how it is going, about whether progress is being made."
