US Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman says Washington will take into consideration Israels security interests at the upcoming talks between Iran and the group of six major world powers.According to a report published by the Israeli dailyJerusalem Post, Sherman said the US will not ignore Israels security interests at the forthcoming nuclear talks, which are slated to be held in the Swiss city of Geneva on November 7-8.
Sherman made the remarks in an interview with Channel 10, which is set to be broadcast later on Sunday.
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - Britain, China, France, Russia and the US - plus Germany held two days of talks over the Islamic Republics nuclear energy program in Geneva, Switzerland, on October 15-16.
During the talks, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif presented Tehrans proposal titled, Closing an Unnecessary Crisis, Opening a New Horizon to the six countries.
Sherman also rejected reports about Washington offering Iran relief from unilateral sanctions imposed over the countrys nuclear energy program.
We have not offered any sanctions relief on Iran, and we have not removed any sanctions, the US official added.
Under pressures by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the US Senate is ratcheting up pressure on the White House to tighten the sanctions against Iran in line with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus demand for more pressure against Tehran.
In a statement on Saturday, the AIPAC said there would be no pause, delay or moratorium in our efforts to seek new sanctions on Iran.
