US EditionIran Open to Nuclear Deal but Rejects US Zero Enrichment Demand
Iran insists on its uranium enrichment rights and seeks sanction relief amid U.S. military pressure; new sanctions target 14 vessels and 15 entities, Washington said.
- On Sunday, supporters said Iran sentenced Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to more than seven additional years after she began a hunger strike, with lawyer Mostafa Nili confirming Saturday's Revolutionary Court in Mashhad verdict.
- Mohammadi had previously been sentenced to nearly 14 years in prison and was arrested in December at a memorial for Khosrow Alikordi, supporters say.

- As Iran negotiates with the United States over its nuclear programme, Iranian officials signal a harder line on dissent, with judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei warning harsh prison sentences await many.
