Iran Says ‘Time to Decide’ Ahead of Nuclear Talks With US

Iran said it’s “time to decide” ahead of Friday’s nuclear talks with the US, with the main sticking point being whether Tehran will be able to continue enriching uranium.

The first four rounds of talks, mediated by Oman, have broadly gone well, according to both US and Iranian officials. But Iran insists that any deal must enable it to continue enrichment, even if to the low level needed for civilian purposes. Washington has given conflicting messages, sometimes seeming to accept that position and at others saying Iran won’t be able to enrich uranium at all.
