U.S.: World powers and Iran are very far apart on some issues in nuclear talks

A senior U.S. administration official has told reporters on Saturday the six world powers and the Iranian regime are ” very far apart on some issues”, including on uranium enrichment.

The official who spoke on condition of anonymity added the Iranian regime has stuck to “inadequate and unworkable” positions in nuclear talks with six world powers despite a looming July 20th deadline.

According to Reuters, another senior U.S. official added that it was difficult to consider extending the negotiations with the Iranian regime beyond the deadline without first seeing “significant progress on key issues.”
