Iran Nuclear Talks Bring Signs of Potential Progress

Iran and six world powers came away from two days of talks with an agreement on further meetings and a mood among negotiators that some progress was made toward resolving the dispute over Iranian nuclear activities.

Iran hailed a positive “turning point,” as Western officials sounded a cautious note and urged concrete steps toward a deal at follow-up talks in March and April. Iran’s negotiator, Saeed Jalili, said a “more realistic and logical” proposal was made by the U.S. and its partners at the session in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
