Iran: Nuclear talks may focus on an extension
VIENNA - With a deadline for a nuclear deal less than two days away, negotiators faced the choice Sunday of pushing on despite diminishing chance of agreement, or shifting to ways of extending negotiations past the target date.
A member of the Iranian delegation in Vienna said the tipping point could come Sunday night, with Iran and six world powers deciding that their differences are too big to bridge by Monday and switching to extension mode.
From that point on, he said, the negotiations would focus on reaching a "general political agreement" on what both sides are committed to resolving. The official said that talks would then be held in the near future to sign that agreement, leading to more negotiations on outstanding issues.
