Iran and 6 powers may progress at nuke talks
After years of failure, Iran and the six world powers may finally be able to revive nuclear negotiations when they meet again Saturday, each by offering concessions the other side keenly seeks.The West's strongest hand is sanctions as it comes to the table in Istanbul. Iran in turn, may dangle the prospect of halting uranium enrichment to a higher level that would shorten the path to making warhead material should Iran opt to go that route. The U.N. sanctions squeeze has in recent months been tightened by U.S. and EU economic penalties that threaten to bite into Iran's main cash cow, oil. But not all have been enacted, and diplomats tell The Associated Press that some may be put on hold if Tehran shows readiness to compromise. They demanded anonymity in exchange for discussing confidential negotiating strategy. Posted by: tipper 2012-04-13 |
