American and Israeli officials have differed over Iran's nuclear
programme, as Israel called for its effective dismantlement and the US
suggested safeguards could show that it was peaceful rather than
military. US Secretary of State John Kerry and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu began talks on Wednesday in Italy, in what is intended to be
about Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations but appears to have been
overshadowed by the Iranian issue.Netanyahu called Iran's programme the region's foremost security problem. Iran has repeteadly stated it is enriching uranium solely for electricity and medical treatments, not nuclear weapons. Kerry, who is exploring a diplomatic solution to rein in Iranian
nuclear activity, took a different approach from Netanyahu by suggesting
Iran could show its programme was peaceful by adhering to international
standards followed by other nations.
