Iran started showing signs of flexibility in terms of its nuclear program as result of the US pressure on it, US Vice President Joe Biden claims.


MOSCOW, December 7 (Sputnik) � The US Vice President�Joe Biden�said the result of�the US pressure on�Iran was that Iran started showing signs of�flexibility in�terms of�its nuclear program.

�Result of�our determination has been that the Iranians have begun to�show slow flexibility on�some important issues,� Biden said on�Saturday addressing the annual Saban Forum in�Washington.

The US vice president added that the progress was not enough to�reach a comprehensive agreement on�the Iranian nuclear program, but�stressed it was enough to�justify the extension of�talks for�seven additional months.

During the latest round�of nuclear talks between�Iran and the�P5+1�Group in�Vienna, the sides failed to�reach a comprehensive deal before�the self-imposed deadline of�November 24, and agreed to�continue negotiating until�July 2015.

Tehran has faced several rounds of�sanctions imposed by�the UN Security Council, the European Union, the United States, and several other countries amid�Iran�s alleged development of�nuclear weapon under�the guise of�a civilian program. However, Iran has denied all these claims, saying the program has purely peaceful purposes and is meant to�cover country�s growing energy demand.
