Iran nuclear talks end, next round on March 17
 Iran and six world powers ended the opening round of nuclear talks on an upbeat note Thursday, with both sides saying they had agreed on a plan for further negotiations meant to produce a comprehensive deal to set limits on Tehrans nuclear ambitions.In a joint statement, they said the next round of negotiations would begin in Vienna on March. 17, continuing a process likely to take at least six months and probably longer. Expectations had been modest as the talks started Tuesday, and the upbeat tone on a framework for future talks appeared aimed at least in part to encourage skeptics both inside and outside Iran that the negotiations had a chance to succeed despite huge gaps between the Iranians and the six powers. We have ... identified all of the issues we need to address for a comprehensive and final agreement, said Catherine Ashton, the EUs top diplomat who convened the talks between Iran and the six powers the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.
