Nuclear energy in Iran

The US hunkered down Tuesday with Iran for crunch talks while warning that key disagreements remain ahead of a March 31 deadline to agree the outlines of a major nuclear deal.
      
"There is no way around it, we still have a ways to go," a senior US official involved in the talks in the Swiss lakeside city of Lausanne said Tuesday.
      

US Secretary of State John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart sought March 17 to make progress in tortuous negotiations as the clock ticked down on reaching an elusive deal on Tehran's disputed nuclear programme.
      

Iran nuclear talks entered a critical week March 16 with US Secretary of State John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart sitting down in Switzerland seeking an elusive breakthrough after 18 months of intense negotiations.
      

US Secretary of State John Kerry expressed his hopefulness that a temporary agreement with Iran will be reached in the next few days, if Tehran manages to prove that their nuclear program is meant to be used for peaceful purposes.

Speaking on the day before new talks with Iran begin talking place in Switzerland, Kerry appeared hopeful on said agreement.

On the eve of fresh talks with Iran, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said it was unclear whether an interim agreement over its nuclear power program was within reach. 

"I can't tell you whether or not we can get a deal, whether we are close," Kerry told a news conference on March 14 in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, where he attended an Egyptian investment summit. 

Iran and the U.N. nuclear watchdog will hold talks in Tehran on March 9, the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) reported, ahead of a March deadline for a framework agreement on Iran's nuclear programme between Tehran and six major powers.
   

Iran's foreign minister on March 5 suggested that a 10-year moratorium on some aspects of the country's nuclear program might be acceptable to Tehran, though he declined to discuss the issue in detail.
   

US Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday briefed wary Gulf ministers about his latest nuclear talks with Iran as Washington and its regional allies seek to stabilise a troubled Middle East.

The US and Iran wrapped up three days of intense nuclear negotiations Wednesday, but American officials said "tough challenges" remained as a March 31 deadline for a framework deal looms.

US Secretary of State John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart on March 4 resumed talks on a nuclear deal, ignoring an impassioned plea from the Israeli prime minister to ditch the process.
