Muscat, Oman: With only two weeks to a deadline for a breakthrough deal, senior envoys of Iran, the United States and European Union met in Oman on Sunday to try to advance efforts to defuse a standoff over Tehran's nuclear programme.

Western countries and close US ally Israel suspect Iran has covertly sought to develop the means to build nuclear weapons, and a decade-long confrontation over the issue has raised the risk of a wider war in the volatile Middle East.

The discussions, between Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and EU envoy Catherine Ashton, aim to put verifiable limits on Iran's uranium enrichment work in return for a gradual lifting of sanctions.

Iran denies any secret nuclear weapons agenda, saying it wants peaceful nuclear energy only, but has refused to curb enrichment capacity and has been hit by damaging U.S., EU and U.N. Security Council sanctions as a result.

The thorniest unresolved issues are the size of Iran's enrichment programme, the length of any long-term agreement and the pace at which international sanctions would be phased out, according to Western diplomats involved in the negotiations.

As Kerry arrived in Oman, a senior US official said the three-way talks would be "an important meeting," with the focus on making progress in order to meet the deadline.

Speaking to Iranian state television on his arrival in the Omani capital Muscat on Saturday night, Zarif reiterated that sanctions imposed on Iran had brought "no result" for the West.

"We need to reach a solution based on mutual respect and cooperation. If the West is interested in reaching such a solution, there is possibility to find a solution and to reach an understanding before November 24," he said.

A senior Iranian official close to the talks told Reuters that the participants would discuss "the gaps that are still huge, Iran's enrichment capacity and time frame of lifting sanctions."

Iran's relations with the West have thawed since relative moderate Hassan Rouhani was elected president last year seeking to end Iran's international isolation.

GAZA CITY: The European Unions new foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini on Saturday appealed for the establishment of a Palestinian state, saying the world cannot afford another war in Gaza. We need a Palestinian state that is the ultimate goal and this is the position of all the European Union, Mogherini said during a trip to Gaza, devastated by its third conflict in six years. She voiced hope that Gaza would avoid another major conflict. It is not only the people of Gaza that cant afford having a fourth war, all the world cannot afford this, she said. We cannot just sit and wait. If we sit and wait it will go on for another 40 years. We have to have action now, said Mogherini, a former Italian foreign minister who recently took over from Catherine Ashton as the top EU diplomat. Sweden last month became the first EU member in western Europe to officially recognize the state of Palestine. Asked whether the EU might do the same, Mogherini said that such a move was not among the competences of the 28-nation bloc.
