Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif said on Saturday that if no consensus is made in talks with the P5+1 group, the next round of talks will be resumed next week or within 10 days.

Speaking to reporters, Zarif said the talks have entered a critical stage and the parties are working on a text requiring consensus by all seven states.

He said that Iran has its own concerns and the six foreign ministers have been split in views.

Zarif said that the work got difficult, but this is natural, because there are six countries that have different views and interests.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to reach an agreement if they settle their differences, he said. "However, we have had a great deal of progress."

Asked about tripartite talks with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and EU foreign poicy chief Catherine Ashton, Zarif commented that Iran and the U.S. have a long history of mistrust.

"Since yesterday, we have had about seven hours of talks with the U.S. Secretary of State as we had serious talks with the French, Britain and German foreign ministers. Now, I'm going to meet Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov."

Responding to a question about the approach of the Iranian team, the foreign minister said, "I have said I will not talk about details of the talks to the media."

Zarif admitted that the views put forward by France are far away from those of the other members of the P5+1.

"What we consider necessary is that countries should know this is a process requiring mutual respect, equal stances and the acknowledgment of the rights of the Iranian people to help lead the talks to an outcome."
