Today, July 7th, marks the self-imposed deadline for Iran and P5+1 group of countries to reach a final deal on Tehran’s nuclear program.
Intensive talks are still going on among negotiating teams from Iran and the sextet in the Austrian capital. The EU foreign policy chief and foreign ministers from the permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany are all in Vienna for the final hours of negotiations with Iranian diplomats. The two sides have been trying hard to settle their disagreements and hammer out a comprehensive nuclear agreement. They all admit that significant progress has been made but differences remain on several key issues.
