The Iranians wanted an easing of the onerous economic sanctions imposed by the West and recognition of what they call their right to enrich. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

A senior American official said that despite disagreements some common ground had been reached, suggesting that diplomats had extended the constructive atmosphere that has prevailed since the talks on Iran's disputed nuclear program were resumed last month.
