Iran parliament chief warns over nuclear pressures
None
Iran's parliament speaker warned Sunday that lawmakers could intervene in ongoing nuclear talks with calls for stepped up atomic work if the West presses too hard for concessions.
The message from Ali Larijani – less than a week after talks resumed – appears aimed at both envoys from the West and Iran's negotiation team, which is led by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. It also highlights the political jockeying inside Iran between backers of moderate-leaning President Hassan Rouhani and hard-liners wary of his outreach to Washington. (AP)
