World Powers, Iran Make Little Progress In Kazakhstan Nuclear Talks -- Haaretz
Western diplomats express disappointment over Iranian officials' refusal to respond to a P5+1 proposal that would restrict the Islamic republic's uranium enrichment in exchange for modest relief from sanctions; talks to renew Saturday.
World powers and Iranian representatives made little progress on Friday during talks in Almaty, Kazakhstan regarding the Islamic regime's nuclear program, officials said. The talks between the two sides are due to renew on Saturday.
