Talks in Kazakhstan between Iran and six world powers over Iran’s nuclear program ended optimistically. Both sides agreed to hold further talks in March.

Iran’s Arak nuclear plant, capable of producing plutonium for nuclear weapons, became fully operational. At nuclear talks in Almaty, Western nations offered to relax financial sanctions on Iran in exchange for a halt in the development of its Fordow uranium enrichment plant.

Talks between Iran and six world powers over its nuclear program restarted after eight months. Little progress is expected in negotiating an end to the program.

Iran announced it had found new deposits of uranium ore and had identified the sites for 16 more nuclear power plants. The Revolutionary Guard began a three-day ground and air military exercise, and claimed it captured a foreign “enemy drone” near the city of Sirjan.
