    U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is likely to hold bilateral talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, said the senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

    The official said threats of retaliation by Iran if there was no nuclear deal to end sanctions were not productive. Iran and the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Russia and China resume talks in New York this week in a bid to secure a long-term deal to curb Tehran’s nuclear program.
