VIENNA: Iran and world powers warned yesterday they were a long way from reaching a comprehensive and potentially historic nuclear deal by a July 20 deadline following tough talks in Vienna.
In the fourth round of talks between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, it was clear after three days of intense negotiations that nothing had been put to paper yet.
“The gaps were too large to begin drafting the text of an accord,” Iran’s chief negotiator Abbas Araqchi told state television.
A US official said the Vienna talks would resume at an unspecified date in June
