A comprehensive nuclear deal withIran should not become a precedent and negatively affect the WMD non-proliferation regime, the Russian deputy foreign minister said.

The world is not going toend if the talks onIranian nuclear program result infailure bythe deadline, butdragging the negotiations endlessly is not right, Sergei Ryabkov said Friday.
