Iranian and Western diplomats gave dueling accounts of what is needed to reach a nuclear accord in the remaining 48 hours before their deadline, with each side saying the other must make tough choices.
Foreign ministers from six world powers and Iran will meet on Monday morning in Lausanne. It’s the first such session since talks were extended in November, and follows five days of negotiations in the Swiss town. Diplomats remain divided over the pace of easing sanctions on the Islamic Republic, and the limits to be imposed on its nuclear program.
