Negotiators in Iran talks signal ‘good news’ on nuclear accord | WaPo |
LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Iranian and Western negotiators signaled what they described as good news Thursday after a marathon all-night session, followed by further talks a few hours later in a last-ditch effort to get a preliminary agreement to constrain Iran’s nuclear capacity in exchange for easing sanctions.
“Found solutions. Ready to start drafting immediately,” tweeted Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif.
“Final Ministerial Plenary of these #IranTalks. Now going to meet the press with @JZarif. Good news,” said a tweet from Federica Mogherini, the foreign policy chief of the European Union.
Negotiators from the European Union and Iran were preparing to read statements to reporters, and Secretary of State John F. Kerry scheduled a news conference to announce the results of the talks so far.

JERUSALEM (AP) – European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif were to read out the same statement in English and Farsi. Zarif and US Secretary of State John Kerry were then expected to brief reporters separately.
The US and five other countries hope to curb Iran’s nuclear technologies that could be used to make weapons. Tehran denies such ambitions but is negotiating because it wants a lifting of economic sanctions imposed over its nuclear program.
