US Secretary of State John Kerry says the major powers were unified on an Iran nuclear deal during weekend talks in Geneva but the Iranians were unable to accept it.
He also said critics of the plan should withhold their comments until a deal is reached.
Speaking to reporters in Abu Dhabi on Monday, Kerry said the United States and its negotiating partners were unified on Saturday when the proposal was presented to the Iranians.
"The French signed off on it, we signed off on it," Kerry said.
Earlier reports said that the talks came apart because France refused to accept the deal with Iran. But on Monday, Kerry said that the major powers reached an agreement after a marathon bargaining session but Iran wasn't able to accept the deal "at that particular moment."
"There was unity but Iran couldn't take it," he said.
Kerry also said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rejection of a deal to limit Iran's nuclear ambitions was premature.
"The time to oppose it is when you see what it is, not to oppose the effort to find out what is possible," Kerry said.
He said the US has "been meeting constantly" with the Israelis to understand the progress Iran has made in its nuclear program. "We are confident that what we are doing can actually protect Israel more effectively and provide greater security," he said.
Kerry said there is no "end game" in motion and the Geneva talks were a first step in longer process of possible give and take.
Tehran has been eager to reach an agreement to ease international sanctions that have halted most oil exports and crippled the county's economy.
