Official says Iran accepts P5+1 talks proposal

A senior Iranian official reportedly told members of the Iranian parliament Monday that Iran has agreed to freeze its enrichment program for six weeks and begin negotiations with the P5+1 group of states as early as next week, according to reports of that decision by the Iranian Student News Agency (ISNA) and by a Farsi-language website in Iran. . . .

The P5+1 consists of the permanent members of the UN Security Council — the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia — and Germany.
