Iran points to possible way round nuclear sticking point

Iran has the right to enrich uranium, but does not insist others recognise that right, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator said on Sunday, in what could be a way around one of the main sticking points between Tehran and world powers in talks this week.

Iran and the six world powers are moving closer to an initial agreement to curb Iran's nuclear program, a senior US official and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov both said in the last two days, raising hopes of a peaceful end to the 10-year dispute. (Reuters)
