Latest Update on Talks

As reported by Reuters (and NYT) today: P6+1 met Sunday & Monday.  At issue is the breakout capacity...how long it should take Iran to be able to build a nuclear weapon: "We have always said we will have a one-year breakout time for a double digit number of years and that remains the case," the senior U.S. official said on Monday."  The talks included technical experts, but included Kerry & Zarif.  The sides agreed to resume talks Monday, March 2nd. 
Also reported in the Times is commentary from new Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken: “'What has to result from any agreement is the strongest, most intrusive inspection and access program that any country has ever seen, because Iran has forfeited the trust of the international community,' Mr. Blinken said."
