Nuclear talks between the Iranian delegation and foreign ministers of the P5+1 group might bear fruit on Thursday, if the sides manage to agree certain solutions. Western negotiators are saying progress is ‘limited.’
However, Reuters cited Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad
Zarif as saying: “We have made significant progress in the
talks, but still we have not agreed on the reviewed
solutions.”
Negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program are now in their eighth
day and have entered extended extra time as the sides continue
negotiations in Lausanne.
“We are working on setting parameters of the issues that will
lead to drafting the final deal by end of June,” Zarif told
reporters.
For those keeping track, it’s 6am in Lausanne. That was truly
an all-nighter. #IranTalks

The meeting has been going on through the night between US
Secretary of State John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart.
The German and French foreign ministers are also present, as well
as the UK foreign secretary and European Union negotiator Helga
Schmid.
The foreign ministers of China, Russia and France left the
country on Tuesday after the initial deadline passed, saying they
would return when necessary.
“We are a few meters from the finishing line, but it’s always
the last meters that are the most difficult. We will try and
cross them,” French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said in
Switzerland on Wednesday night when he returned to negotiations.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who has also
stayed in Switzerland, said that Iran was expected to bring forth
“new recommendations” on the sticking points for a possible deal,
after talks stretched on into Thursday.
Western diplomats hope for a breakthrough after almost 18 months
of negotiations.

Late Wednesday night, the Iranian foreign minister called on his
counterparts to “seize the moment and use this opportunity,
which may not be repeated.”
“They require, as I have said, the recognition by all parties
that they need to exhibit political will and flexibility in order
to move forward,” Zarif said on Wednesday evening. Iran has
demonstrated it indeed wants “an entente” with the
world, but “will not accept submitting to force and excessive
demands,” Zarif said.
Iran and six world powers are negotiating a framework deal, which
will hopefully lead to a final agreement by the end of June.
Tehran insists that it is not pursuing nuclear capability, but
some nations have accused it of having a clandestine military
nuclear program.
