US, Iran to hold first nuke talks

United Nations: In a stunning diplomatic breakthrough, the foreign ministers of arch rivals, the United States and Iran, will hold their first talks on Tehran’s contested nuclear drive at a landmark meeting Thursday. Secretary of State John Kerry and new Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will join counterparts from
Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia at the meeting at the United Nations headquarters, US officials said on Monday.High-level contacts between Iranian and US officials have been rare since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. But in another sign of a possible thaw, the White House said it was not ruling out a meeting between President Barack Obama and new Iranian counterpart Hassan Rowhani.
