Draft pact limits Iran centrifuges and sanctions relief
The United States and Iran are drafting a framework that would cut Iran’s centrifuges to about 6,000 from 6,500 and offer quick relief from some sanctions and a partial lift of a U.N. arms embargo. The deal targets a decade of new limits, a one year breakout time, and a 15 to 20 year total pact duration with phased sanctions relief, while Congress pressures to keep safeguards in place. John Kerry and Mohammad Javad Zarif held a fourth straight day of talks as essential hurdles remain about missile and underground enrichment plant issues.
