Updates from Reuters & Iranian PressTV . . .
From Reuters: "'I cannot promise whether the
remaining issues can be resolved tonight or tomorrow night. Some issues
still remain unresolved and, until they are solved, we cannot say an
agreement has been reached,' Iran's Tasnim news agency quoted Deputy
Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi as saying in Vienna. Diplomats
close to the talks said there were contingency plans for an
announcement ceremony on Monday if the negotiators sealed an agreement,
which would open the door to ending sanctions that have crippled Iran's
economy in exchange for at least a decade of curbs on its nuclear
program."
From PressTV: "During their [Monday] meeting, the Chinese foreign minister told Zarif, 'I saw
your public comment. We had expected an agreement to be reached on the
12th [of July] and you said in your public comment there will not be any
further extensions beyond the 13th, sending out a positive message.' Zarif responded, 'I obviously believe there shouldn't be any extension but we could work as long as necessary to finish this.' Speaking after the meeting with his US Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday, Zarif said there is no plan to extend the talks."
Meanwhile, TheGuardian looks at oil prices in should a deal occur.
