Geneva - Iran was given a fortnight to agree to freeze its uranium enrichment program yesterday or face further
international isolation.
After a day of inconclusive talks in Geneva, a six-nation negotiating team warned the Iranian delegation that it had
run out of patience and demanded a 'yes or no' answer to a proposal it put forward five weeks ago.

would last six weeks, possibly paving the way for suspension of enrichment and more comprehensive talks.
