DHAKA: Talks between Iran and major powers on finalizing a historic nuclear deal will go beyond the June 30 deadline.

A spokesman for the Iranian delegation in talks in Vienna said on Sunday, reports The Straits Times.

‘Because there is still lots of work to do the delegations will remain beyond Tir 10 (July 1) to continue the negotiations and reach a good overall deal,’ the spokesman said.

‘At the same time there is no desire or discussion yet on a long-term extension,’ he said.

Officials have said that the deadline may be missed by a few days but until now no officials have confirmed that it will.
