With Deadline Approaching, Atomic Talks With Iran Move Toward Extension
NEW YORK (Worthy News)– The US and five other nations trying to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran are turning away from attempting to reach an agreement by deadline and have started internal discussions on extending the talks, Ynet News reported.
The decision comes less than two days before the deadline at midnight Monday for a deal attempting to cap Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for lifting sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
After the so-called P5+1 group – the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany – have talked among themselves on approaches they could present to Tehran, US Secretary of State John Kerry met with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif to discuss the possibility of extension of the talks. At the same time, formal talks with Iran on bridging the differences were continuing. — [wp_colorbox_media url=”http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4595283,00.html” type=”iframe” hyperlink=”Source”]
