Iran Nuclear Talks News Updates -- April 2, 2015



The Guardian: Iran nuclear talks inching towards joint statement, say European diplomats

Secret parameters would be included in any agreement over the future of Iran’s nuclear programme, say diplomats, as Lausanne summit enters eighth day

Foreign ministers at talks in Lausanne on Iran’s nuclear programme have said they are inching towards a joint statement, which would be accompanied by a set of agreed parameters that would be kept secret, according to European diplomats.

After an all-night negotiating session, the ministers continued to make slow progress towards a consensus, but diplomats said there were still a small number of issues to be resolved before a joint statement could be made.

WNU Editor: It appears that they cannot even agree to a framework .... let alone the details .... of any nuclear agreement. These talks are a bust .... and from my vantage point what I am seeing is a US Secretary of State trying to salvage something so that he can bring back to the U.S. so that it can be used to dissuade Congress from imposing even more sanctions on Iran.
