(New York) – With the eyes of the world upon them, the United States and Iran are going to have one of their highest-level meetings since the 1979 revolution as their foreign ministers join talks on Tehran’s suspect nuclear program. While officials are saying that no bilateral talks are planned between US Secretary of State John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif, there remains the chance for a quick tete-a-tete in the corridor.
Zarif will be the first Iranian foreign minister to sit down with his counterparts from the five permanent members of the UN Security — Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany to discuss Iran’s nuclear program. The Iranian delegation will also join part of the talks being hosted by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
