UK FM: Sanction relief with deal, further restrictions without

World powers would lift some of the sanctions they have imposed on Iran if a preliminary deal over its nuclear program could be reached, Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Monday after the latest round of talks ended without agreement.

"An interim agreement would involve offering Iran limited, proportionate sanctions relief," Hague told the Parliament but, "It's very important for the Iranian authorities to understand that the pressure will be there for greater sanctions, for an intensification of sanctions, unless an agreement is reached on these matters."
