"We believe there should not be any extension (of the nuclear talks). However, we can keep working as long as needed," Mohammad Javad Zarif said in a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Vienna, Iran's Tasnim news agency reported.
A diplomat close to the talks told Xinhua Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov might leave in the afternoon after meeting with other sides involved in the talks, but yet to be confirmed.
The leave of Lavrov might be not a good sign of the potential agreement on Monday, July 13, the third deadline in the over two weeks talks.
If a deal is to be agreed very soon, all the foreign ministers are supposed to stay in Vienna.
Wang earlier said the parties should put an end to the marathon nuclear negotiations, as conditions are in place for a good deal, an agreement could be reached anytime in Vienna.
"China believes no agreement could be perfect, ... Conditions are already in place for us to reach a good agreement," Wang told reporters before he entered the Palais Coburg hotel, adding "We believe that there can not and should not be further delay of the negotiations."
Responding to the timing of reaching a deal, Wang said "any time."
This is Wang's third time joining the meeting in Vienna.
After over two weeks of bargain in the Palais Coburg hotel in the capital city of Austria, Iran and the six world major countries are heading to a deal to put an end to the decade-old standoff.
The talks has go far beyond the deadlines June 30 and July 7, and might also miss the Monday deadline if the tough issues are not resolved still.
The sides have resolved many of the tough issues in the talks which was seen as an impossible task, such as capping Iran's nuclear capacity, transparency of Tehran's atomic plan in the past 18 months marathon negotiation.
Western states seek to bar Iran for a nuclear bomb by a comprehensive nuclear deal while Tehran wants sanction relief from the West which has seriously hammered the county's economy.

“Iran and the six powers will hold a comprehensive meeting at the UN headquarters in Vienna at 10am local time,” the agency announced.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said an agreement was possible on Tuesday, but Western and Iranian officials warned that things could still fall apart.

Iran nuclear agreement 'reached'...
ReplyDeleteWorld powers have reached a deal with Iran on limiting Iranian nuclear activity in return for the lifting of international economic sanctions.
Iran's foreign minister called the agreement "historic", saying it opened a "new chapter of hope".
It reportedly gives UN nuclear inspectors extensive but not automatic access to sites within Iran.
Negotiations between Iran and six world powers - the US, UK, France, China and Russia plus Germany - began in 2006.
The so-called P5+1 - want Iran to scale back its sensitive nuclear activities to ensure that it cannot build a nuclear weapon.
Iran, which wants crippling international sanctions lifted, has always insisted that its nuclear work is peaceful.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said the deal was "a sign of hope for the entire world".
"It is a decision that can open the way to a new chapter in international relations," she said.....BBC
Téhéran et les grandes puissances ont conclu un accord...
ReplyDeleteAprès 17 jours de tractations intenses, l'Iran et les grandes puissances ont conclu un accord historique sur le nucléaire iranien. Le texte devrait prévoir un accès aux sites iraniens suspects pour les inspecteurs de l’ONU.
C'est un accord historique. Mardi 14 juillet, l’Iran et les six grandes puissances du groupe P5+1 (États-Unis, Allemagne, Russie, Chine, France, Royaume-Uni), ont trouvé un accord sur le nucléaire iranien, a indiqué une source occidentale qui s'exprimait sous le sceau de l'anonymat.
Une réunion ministérielle plénière doit se tenir à 08h30 GMT (10h30 heure française), suivie d'une conférence de presse, a fait savoir une porte-parole de la diplomatie européenne.
La semaine passée, le groupe des P5+1 et Téhéran avait le plus grand mal à trouver un terrain d'entente sur la levée des sanctions. L’Iran réclamait par exemple la levée de l’embargo sur les armes et sur son programme de missiles balistiques. Les Occidentaux répugnaient à laisser l'Iran acheter et vendre des armes librement. Ils craignaient que cela ne permette à Téhéran d'accroître son soutien militaire aux milices chiites en Irak, aux Houthis au Yémen et au président syrien Bachar al-Assad.
Le texte de l'accord prévoit finalement que l'embargo des Nations unies sur les importations d'armes par Téhéran sera maintenu pendant cinq ans et celui qui vise les missiles ne pourra être levé pendant huit ans, a-t-on appris de sources diplomatiques.
