Iran, Big Powers Agree to More Nuclear Talks in June in Moscow; Sanctions to Stay
(Reuters) Andrew Quinn and Justyna Pawlak - Iran and world powers agreed to meet again in Moscow on June 18-19 for more talks over Tehran's nuclear program. Western powers insist Tehran must first shut down enrichment activities before sanctions can be eased. After the second round of talks ended in Baghdad, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "All of our sanctions will remain in place and continue to move forward during this period." A senior U.S. official said sanctions coming into effect in coming weeks would increase leverage on Iran in the negotiations, noting that "maximum pressure is not yet being felt by Iran."
