UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Western nations are struggling to answer one key question as they assess conflicting signals from Tehran ahead of next week's big-power meeting with Iran in Geneva - is the Islamic Republic ready to make a deal on its controversial nuclear program.
While it is clear that Iran wants an end to the crippling international sanctions world powers have imposed on it for refusing to halt uranium enrichment and other sensitive atomic work, Western diplomats say it is not clear whether Tehran is prepared to significantly curtail its nuclear activities.
