Iran and world powers are exuding optimism after nuclear talks resumed in Geneva today, but it is unclear whether a new two-stage American plan to temporarily halt expansion of Iran's nuclear program includes enough incentives for Iran to sign on.
As closed-door talks began, following a positive first round three weeks ago and two days of detailed technical discussions in Vienna last week, diplomats say prospects for a deal have never been better. Iran’s top negotiator, Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, told Reuters after the first session this morning that "We are making progress, but it's tough." Earlier he said a deal here is possible “if all parties do their best.”
