Tillerson says had 'matter of fact' exchange with Zarif
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
New york - Emirates Voice
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Wednesday he had had a matter of fact exchange with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif but that Washington continues to have "significant issues" with the Iran nuclear deal.
"It was a good opportunity to meet, shake hands. The tone was very matter of fact. There was no yelling, we didn't throw shoes at one another," Tillerson said.
"It was not an angry tone at all. It was a very, very matter of fact exchange about how we see this agreement very differently."
In particular, Tillerson said that US President Donald Trump finds the so-called "sunset clause" in the 2015 deal -- which sees the restrictions on Iran's nuclear enrichment lifted after 2025 -- to be "unacceptable."

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
