Russia's foreign minister says his country opposes setting a US-proposed fortnight deadline for Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment.
"There should be no artificial limits, either in the sense of some kind of deadline, like 'tomorrow or never', or in the endless dragging out of the process," Sergei Lavrov was quoted as saying.
He was clearly referring to a two-week deadline the US has set for Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment or face further sanctions against its nuclear program.
Iran has been asked to respond to the package of incentives put forward by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany. The package offers advantages in exchange for Iran's suspension of uranium enrichment.
The US accuses Iran of developing secret nuclear weapons program but the Islamic Republic denies the charges, stressing it is only seeking a peaceful nuclear program.
