Big-Power Talks on Iran Nuclear Issue Report Progress

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says top diplomats from the
five permanent U.N. Security Council members and Germany have made
progress on a strategy to deal with Iran's nuclear program. But she says
more talks are needed. The major powers have been discussing a package
of incentives for Iran to give up its nuclear activity, along with
defined punitive actions if it refuses.

Rice acknowledged that a closed-door meeting in London of senior
officials from the so-called P-Five Plus One grouping ended without an
agreement Wednesday. She said further talks -- possibly at ministerial
level -- will be needed. Secretary Rice discussed the London meeting at
a joint news conference in Washington with International Atomic Energy
Agency chief Mohamed el-Baradei.

Western powers suspect Iran is planning to make a nuclear weapon.
Although Tehran denies this, el-Baradei said it is important for Iran to
take measures to assure the world that its nuclear program is for
peaceful purposes.
