Framework Is Set for Iran Nuclear Talks
(Wall Street Journal) Jay Solomon and Laurence Norman - Iran and world powers have agreed to a framework and timetable for negotiations aimed at permanently ending the military threat posed by Tehran's nuclear program. Iran and the P5+1 will meet again in Vienna on March 17 to 20 and are preparing to have monthly meetings to try and forge a final, comprehensive deal. This week's first round of talks discussed mainly the format of the forthcoming talks. The U.S. is seeking a major rolling back of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, including the dismantling or mothballing of thousands of Tehran's centrifuges used to produce nuclear fuel. Washington also wants Iran to shut a heavy water reactor capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium and an underground uranium enrichment facility nearly Qom.
