The nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1 (representatives of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany, led by the European Union) held in Kazakhstan April 5-6, ended with a familiar refrain: Iran unwilling to concede to the West’s demands on its nuclear program absent both recognition of its right to enrich uranium and a roadmap for the lifting of sanctions.
Al-Monitor’s Laura Rozen covered the Almaty talks, which were reportedly more detailed and substantive from previous meetings, including a “30–45-minute back and forth between the lead US negotiator at the talks, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman, and Iran’s lead negotiator, Saeed Jalili, in which Sherman asked Jalili a series of specific questions and he responded."
