Iran's entry into talks on nuclear issues hinges on US fulfilment of commitments: deputy FM

TEHRAN -- Iran's entry into a 60-day period of negotiations with the United States on its nuclear program and the removal of sanctions will hinge on the US fulfillment of its preliminary commitments, said Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi early Monday.

In an interview with Iran's state-run IRIB TV, Gharibabadi said Tehran will verify Washington's compliance before the official signing of the peace memorandum of understanding in Switzerland on Friday.
