ANKARA — A self-imposed deadline of June 30 for Iran and six major powers to reach a final nuclear deal to resolve a decade-long standoff may be extended, Iran's state TV reported. France's ambassador to the US, Gerard Araud, said on Tuesday that the deal was not likely by June 30 because technical details would remain to be agreed. “The deadline might be extended and the talks might continue after the June 30 (deadline),” Iranian senior nuclear negotiator Abbas Araqchi was quoted as saying. “We are not bound to a specific time. We want a good deal that covers our demands.” Ambassador Araud said it could take a few weeks of July to complete the technical annexes that are envisaged under an agreement if one can be reached. Iran and the six powers resumed talks in Vienna on Wednesday to bridge gaps still remaining in their negotiating positions ahead of the deadline. “The meetings on deputy negotiators level take place in the context of the E3/EU +3's diplomatic efforts towards a negotiated, comprehensive solution to the Iranian nuclear issue,” the EU said in a statement. A tentative agreement was reached between Iran, the US, France, Britain, Germany, Russia and China on April 2, but several issues remain unresolved. The pace of sanctions relief and the monitoring steps to ensure Iran does not pursue a clandestine program are among sticking points. — Reuters
