Nuclear negotiations between the P5+1 and Iran ended with the parties announcing another meeting on November 7 and 8 in Geneva. No details about the discussion, or any Iranian concessions, were released, but official reactions were generally positive.  EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton called the talks "substantive and forward looking."  A Russian foreign ministry official said the talks were "better than many people thought, but worse than what we hoped for," and a senior U.S. official said that the P5+1 "got more today than we've ever gotten, but there's a whole lot more we need to get."
