Russia proposes 'phased' approach to Iran's nuclear program

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has laid out a new “step-by-step” approach that would enable Iran to take steps to
address questions raised by the UN nuclear agency on the country's nuclear program, Iranian news agency Press TV reports.

Lavrov made the suggestion at a press conference, following his talks with US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the US State Department in Washington on Wednesday.

According to the plan, Iran can revive negotiations to alleviate individual concerns of the International Atomic Energy Agency about
its nuclear activities and be rewarded along the way by partial removal of sanctions.
