BBC: WTO agrees entry talks with Iran
The World Trade Organisation has agreed to allow Iran to begin membership talks after the US lifted its opposition to Tehran joining the body.

The move comes a day after Iran agreed a deal with European countries to maintain its suspension of nuclear activities and continue talks.

The US said in March it would drop its decade-long block on Iran to help those negotiations.

Iran applied to join the 148-member trade group in September 1996.

Is this part of a deal? No nukes in exchange for WTO membership?
