Iran is making its red lines clear as talks on a final nuclear deal get underway.
US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif are meeting in a Vienna hotel in the first of what should be several days of negotiations ahead of a Tuesday deadline.
The US and other world powers are pursuing an agreement that would curb Iran's nuclear program for a decade in exchange for billions of dollars in sanctions relief.

On the key question of inspections, Zarif says Iran won't accept "exceptional procedures.
