A White House statement said the two leaders discussed by phone the “good progress” being made by the United States, Russia, Britain, China, France and Germany toward agreeing on a fourth round of U.N. Security Council sanctions against Iran for refusing to halt its uranium enrichment.
They “agreed to instruct their negotiators to intensify their efforts to reach conclusion as soon as possible,” the statement said.
