Mogherini says postponement of the talks beyond a few days is “not an option.”
“Everybody is very much aware of the fact that we have conditions now to close the deal,” she tells reporters.
“There’s a good deal, and we have to use these hours these days to do it. Postponement is not an option,” she insists, adding however that everyone is prepared to be flexible if a few more days were needed to reach a deal curtailing Iran’s nuclear program.
“We don’t have new points open on the agenda, we’re not re-negotiating things,” Mogherini says, adding the ministers had given political guidelines to their teams on how to advance.
She says the remaining “open points” were mainly how to “translate the political understandings that we reached already into concrete detail.”
