U.S., Allies to Resume Nuclear Talks With Iran 
-----------------------------------------------



The United States and five other world powers have agreed to resume
nuclear talks with Iran after more than one year. Speaking on behalf of
the five permanent U.N. Security Council members and Germany, the
European Union’s Catherine Ashton accepted Iran's offer from last
month to restart negotiations.

Catherine Ashton: "On behalf of China, France, Germany, the Russian
federation, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, I have
offered to resume talks with Iran. We hope that we will be able to now
pursue, with Iran, constructive engagement with the purpose of
addressing the international community's concerns about the nuclear
program. We will in the course of the next few days decide the dates and
the venue."
