Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva says there is “good” progress in US-Iran peace talks and addresses next steps on sanctions and nuclear issues. Ali Bahreini tells reporters that discussions continue at the technical level and that two working groups are expected to be set up in the coming days. He says the groups will focus on removal of sanctions and on issues related to Iranian nuclear activities. He also disputes claims attributed to the United States that Iran would use assets that are unfrozen under a deal to purchase US commodities. Separate coverage notes that the United States waives sanctions on Iran for 60 days, starting Monday, following the first round of talks. The reporting frames the diplomatic effort as moving into more detailed, working-level negotiations, while the parties remain at odds over the scope and intended use of economic measures tied to the ongoing negotiations.
