French foreign minister: 'medium optimism' on Iran

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner says
there is a «wind of medium optimism» over Iran and
countries negotiating with Tehran don't want to talk of
sanctions, AP reported.
Kouchner says that «something happened» in talks last
week in Geneva between Iran and six nations over Tehran's
nuclear program and «we no longer want to talk of
sanctions.»
Kouchner, responding to reporters Sunday on LCI TV, said
that instead «We want to talk about the heart of the
subject: is it dangerous or not this enrichment of
uranium?»
The minister expressed hope the new climate will benefit
French academic Clotilde Reiss, 24, charged by Iran with
spying, so that her case can be dismissed.
Reiss was freed Aug. 16 to the French Embassy to await a
verdict.
