Washington. D.C.—A day after US and Iranian negotiators completed 12 hours of nuclear talks in Geneva, Iran’s Foreign Minister on Wednesday posted an Iranian report countering western concerns about short Iranian nuclear "breakout" times.
“A serious scrutiny of the myth of breakout may prevent it from derailing the nuclear negotiations,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote on Twitter Wednesday, posting a link to an 8-age technical report posted at the NuclearEnergy.IR website.

The Zarif tweet and publication of the Iranian report seem the latest salvo in Iran's heretofore behind-closed-door case to negotiators from six world powers that it should be able to retain most of its enrichment capacity in a final deal and ultimately be able to expand the program to meet the country's future power needs. It comes as negotiations are intensifying to see if Iran and the P5+1 will be able to reach a final accord by July 20, when a six month interim deal expires, or if they will need to extend the talks. Negotiations between the six powers and Iran are set to resume in Vienna next week, from June 16-20.
