US President Barack Obama on Saturday turned to the public for support to continued nuclear talks with Iran toward a final deal, two days after a framework pact was reached. In his weekly radio and online address, Obama described the tentative deal as a "good" one that meets US "core objectives" and cuts off "every pathway that Iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon," Xinhua reported.
The preliminary accord was sealed on Thursday following eight days of intense negotiations between Iran's foreign minister and his counterparts from Britain, China, France, Russia, the US plus Germany in the Swiss city of lausanne.
