Iran Nuclear Deal Talks Advance as U.S. Offers Sanctions Relief
(Wall Street Journal) Ian Talley - The Biden administration has signaled it is open to easing sanctions against critical elements of Iran's economy, including oil and finance, helping narrow differences in nuclear talks. Talks in Vienna are complicated by Iran's refusal to meet directly with the U.S. Two people familiar with the matter said the U.S. is open to lifting terror sanctions against Iran's central bank, its national oil and tanker companies, and several key economic sectors including steel, aluminum and others. A senior European official said Washington has also signaled potential sanctions relief for textiles, autos, shipping and insurance.
