Movement on Deal to Implement Iran Nuclear Accord

Movement on Deal to Implement Iran Nuclear Accord
TEHRAN, Iran December 31, 2013 (AP)
By NASSER KARIMI Associated Press
Iran and Western negotiators on Tuesday reported they were nearing an understanding on the details of implementing the landmark interim nuclear accord reached between Tehran and world powers in November.
The nuclear accord puts strong limits on Iran's uranium enrichment program in return for an easing of some international sanctions on Tehran for six months while a permanent deal is negotiated. The United States and its allies believe Iran's nuclear program is aimed at producing a nuclear weapon, a claim that Tehran denies, saying it is intended only for peaceful purposes.
The past month, experts from Iran and the so-called "5+1" countries — the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany — have held several rounds of talks in Geneva to work out details on carrying out the agreement. The most recent session was on Monday.
A member of the Iranian negotiating team, Hamid Baidinejad, said the sides had had "achieved a mutual understanding" and that implementation of the accord would begin in January, according to the semi-official news agency ISNA.
