World powers to discuss Iran's nuclear program
Six world powers are meeting in Brussels later on Wednesday for
talks on Iran's controversial nuclear program, Radio Liberty
reported.
Officials from Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the
United States will discuss plans to hold a fresh round of talks
with Tehran.
Three rounds of negotiations thus far this year have not led to any
breakthrough. Iran denies Western charges it is pursuing nuclear
weapons, and has refused to halt uranium enrichment, as dictated by
UN Security Council resolutions.
Sanctions pressure increased last month when European Union
governments stepped up restrictions on trading with Tehran and
banned imports of Iranian gas, adding to an embargo this year on
Iran's crude oil.
A UN report showed this month Iran is set to sharply expand uranium
enrichment in its underground Fordow plant.
