India, Iran talks on Farzad B gasfields near breaking point

The protracted negotiations between India and Iran on the Farzad B gasfields have come to a halt following a hardening of stance by both countries. No top level talks between officials of India and Iran have been held since the expiry of the last deadline of February, but official written communications between relevant authorities of the two countries indicate that neither nation is willing to accede ground to arrive at an agreement.
