WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S.-Iranian nuclear talks are the biggest source of tension in the relationship between President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The American leader is pushing for a framework deal with Tehran by the end of March and a full accord by July. Netanyahu opposes any deal that leaves the Iranian nuclear program intact.

Negotiators from the U.S., world powers and Iran have sought to keep the details of a potential agreement secret. But the statements of governments, anonymous officials and think tanks closely monitoring the discussions give some idea of what may be included in an agreement.
