美国英国领导人讨论伊朗，叙利亚 　　

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron talked over phone Tuesday over nuclear talks with Iran and an envisioned peace conference on Syria.

　　Both sides "reiterated¹ their support for the P5+1's unified² proposal and discussed their expectations for the next round of talks," the White House said in a statement.

　　Iran held three-day intensive talks in Geneva last week with Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany, but the meeting failed to produce an interim³ deal amid hyped expectations.

　　Iran blamed fissures⁴ within the world powers for the failure, while the United States accused the Iranian negotiators of being unable to accept the proposal on the table.

　　The two sides agreed, however, to meet again on Nov. 20.

　　On Syria, Obama and Cameron voiced their "continuing support" for another peace conference in Geneva to seek a negotiated end to the armed conflict in the Arab country, the White House said.

　　It said they also welcomed the decision by the opposition⁵ Syrian National Coalition⁶ to attend the planned meeting and reviewed progress on eliminating Syria's chemical weapons.
