Iran, Under New Strain, Makes Offer to Talk
(Wall Street Journal) Farnaz Fassihi and Jay Solomon - Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said on Wednesday that Iran was ready to return to negotiations in Turkey over its nuclear program, though U.S. officials said they had yet to see proof of that claim, as some international efforts to ratchet up pressure on Tehran progressed. The EU is coalescing around a July 1 start for its proposed crude-oil embargo on Iran, several diplomats said Wednesday. The EU is expected to finalize details of the embargo and other sanctions - including the time frame for their implementation - at a meeting in Brussels on Monday.
