German Foreign Minister at G7 Meeting: Too Early to Reward Iran Over Nuclear Talks

Germany's foreign minister says it's too early to reward Iran for a preliminary agreement on its nuclear program, criticizing Russia's decision to lift a ban on delivery of an air defense missile system.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier spoke as he welcomed counterparts from the Group of Seven powers Tuesday to a meeting in northern Germany.
They're expected to discuss Iran, Ukraine and Yemen among other issues.
When asked about the Russian decision, Steinmeier said negotiators are "in the middle of a process" of trying for a final deal with Iran.
He said U.S. senators shouldn't try to obstruct further talks "unnecessarily" but "it is also too early to offer rewards."
There is a June 30 deadline for a deal. Steinmeier says that's when it will be possible to say how economic relations develop.
