(Naharnet) Iran’s parliament has started to draft a law that would allow the country’s nuclear scientists to intensify their uranium enrichment, a step that could complicate ongoing talks with world powers.
The move, announced Saturday by parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, comes after U.S. lawmakers said they were planning legislation that could place new sanctions on Iran.
The negotiations between Iran and the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council — Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States — plus Germany, face a June 30 deadline for a final deal.
