US Secretary of State John Kerry has said Iran backed out of a deal on its nuclear programme during talks with world powers in Geneva on Saturday.
Amid reports that France's reservations scuppered an agreement, Mr Kerry told reporters in Abu Dhabi: "The French signed off on it, we signed off on it."
Iran had been unable to accept the deal "at that particular moment", he added.
Mr Kerry said he hoped in the next few months they could "find an agreement that meets everyone's standards".
Representatives from Iran and the so-called P5+1 - the US, UK, France, Russia and China plus Germany - will meet again on 20 November.
Powers 'unified'Some reports said the latest talks failed because France had wanted to place tight restrictions on the heavy-water plant being built at Arak, which could produce plutonium for use in a nuclear bomb.
However, diplomats said on Sunday that the Iranian government's insistence on formal recognition of its "right" to enrich uranium had been the major obstacle to an agreement.
The Jerusalem Post quoted a senior US official as saying the world powers had approved a working document and but that it had been "too tough" for the Iranians.
Speaking at a news conference with UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Monday, Mr Kerry said: "The P5+1 was unified on Saturday when we presented our proposal to the Iranians.
"But Iran couldn't take it, at that particular moment they weren't able to accept."
Mr Kerry also sought to reassure Israel and Gulf Arab states close to Washington that they would not be abandoned in the wake of a nuclear deal with Iran.
"We will stand up for and defend our allies in this region against any kind of external threat," he said.
