The United States and France and four other world powers suspended talks with Iran in Switzerland on Friday to resume this week in a bid to end the deadlock over Tehran's nuclear research and the lifting of sanctions in order to reach a framework agreement before March 31.

Often described France as the bargaining power that convergence of views and the Israeli point of view, is scheduled to speak with Steinitz's chief negotiator and adviser to French President Francois Olond later on Monday.
