A new round of talks between Iran and the P5+1 (five permanent members of the Security Council plus Germany) has now been scheduled to take place on February 26" following weeks of conflicting reports and what seemed to be a diplomatic stalemate. This represents the first effort at talks at the political directors’ level since the Moscow meeting in June of 2012.

Prince Muarin is the youngest son of the kingdom’s founder.
