Kerry, Iranian foreign minister sit side-by-side at nuclear talks

UNITED NATIONS - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif joined nuclear talks with six world powers on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, taking a seat next to US Secretary of State John Kerry.
Thursday's meeting was the first between a top US diplomat and an Iranian foreign minister since a brief encounter in May 2007, and came amid a charm offensive by new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani that has raised hopes for easing more than three decades of estrangement between Washington and Tehran.
