VIENNA — Nuclear talks between Iran and six world powers accelerated as the sides try to seal a deal by a June 30 target date.
After a meeting last week that stretched into the weekend, experts from all seven participating nations resumed negotiations Tuesday. They were to be joined by senior officials later in the week.
At the negotiating table with Iran are representatives from the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany. Foreign ministers are expected to join in during the final stage of the talks.
The six world powers want long-term caps on Iranian nuclear programs that could be used to make weapons. Tehran denies any interest in atomic arms and seeks an end to sanctions in exchange for any nuclear concessions.
According to a framework reached in April, the US will be required to lift sanctions that are related to Iran’s nuclear program but could leave others in place.
