Talks on Iran Nuclear Program to Start

The US State Department said on Wednesday that it hoped to hold high-level meetings in the coming weeks with Iran and the five major world powers to discuss Iran’s nuclear program.

"We hope to have the same kind of meeting in the coming weeks that we had last October," State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said [AP, 28 July].

In October, the participants proposed a nuclear fuel swap deal with Iran.

Iran's representative to IAEA said on Monday that Iran is ready to resume talks over its nuclear fuel swap without conditions.
