US secretary of state John Kerry saidSunday tha
t the door remained open for a diplomatic solution to Iran's nuclear ambitions but that talks could not go on forever.
A day after the latest round of negotiations ended without agreement, Kerry said the White House remained hopeful of a peaceful end to the standoff. But he added that negotiations were not an "interminable process".
It comes amid growing calls in Israel for the setting of a deadline for Iran to halt its enrichment of uranium or face military action.
here again is Israel flexing our muscles? understand that this can't go on forever but we have a sec of state to wave our sword, not our allies.  it needs to be said again that they need to slow their roll when putting our country in peril for them. they no we are coming off ten year + engagements over seas and or military stressed not to mention or bucks but they have legitimate fears but they have to respect our position before they put us in position.
Yuval Steinitz, Israeli strategic affairs minister, said Sunday that such an armed response should be taken within "a few weeks, a month" if Tehran refused to comply with demands that it cease its nuclear programme.
But Kerry, speaking in Turkey at the start of a 10-day trip to Europe, the Middle East and Asia, called for patience over the talks. "Diplomacy is a painful task," he said at a news conference in Istanbul.
Just how painful was seen yesterday, when talks in Kazakhstan between Iran and six world powers concluded with seemingly little progress.
 they are talking war in weeks if not months, Iran won't be ready for years now what's up with a week?
