GENEVA — France's foreign minister says marathon six-power talks with Iran have failed to reach a deal meant to cap some of Tehran's nuclear program.

Laurent Fabius says the talks, which ended early Sunday, managed to narrow differences without eliminating them.

He says there are "still questions to be dealt with" in future rounds.

The talks are focused on a deal that will start limiting Iranian nuclear programs that could be used for weapons, in exchange for suspending some sanctions on Iran's economy.

Tehran says it does not want atomic arms.
