Iran Presents Plan to Curb Nuclear Program at Geneva Talks

HeadlineOct 16, 2013

Negotiations over Iran’s disputed nuclear program are entering their second and final day in Geneva. On Tuesday, Iran gave a PowerPoint presentation outlining a proposal to curb its nuclear efforts in a bid to ease crippling economic sanctions. Iran’s deputy foreign minister said the other six countries attending the talks appeared receptive to Iran’s plan.

Abbas Araqchi: “We are very serious. We are not here to — just symbolically. We are not here to waste our time. We are serious for real target-oriented negotiations between Iran and the other side. And we believe that the plan that we have introduced has the capacity to reach that.”

The Iranian and U.S. delegations also met separately for bilateral talks on Tuesday.
