Iran Needs to Get Realistic About Enrichment


May 09, 2014 02:00 am | Rebecca M. Miller

Iran can achieve its goals in upcoming negotiations. However, it must adopt a more realistic position on the enrichment issue. What will Tehran do?
Robert EinhornNegotiations between the P5+1 countries, the European Union, and Iran will resume in Vienna on May 14 aimed at achieving a comprehensive agreement on the Iran nuclear issue. With a little more than two months remaining before the six-month interim agreement expires, the negotiators have their work cut out for them.
By all accounts, the talks on the comprehensive deal that began in February have been serious and highly substantive. Both sides have given every indication that they are determined to reach agreement by the July 20 expiration.
So far, negotiations have taken the form of detailed exchanges of views in conceptual terms. At the upcoming round, the parties will start putting proposed texts of an agreement on the table and the process of reconciling positions will begin.
