WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (UPI) — Washington wants a one-on-one nuclear meeting with Tehran, U.S. officials said, as Iran installed new centrifuges that can triple the speed it enriches uranium.

The meeting, proposed for international talks in Kazakhstan Tuesday to resolve disputes about Iran's nuclear program, would accelerate nuclear diplomacy ahead of Iran's presidential elections in June, U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal.
