Iran says last few ‘tough’ issues are left

Global powers leading negotiations for a nuclear deal with Iran had a “few last” but “tough” issues left to resolve, an Iranian official say.

Three months ago there were a number of unresolved issues, the official says, asking not to be identified. But now “there are only a few items left which need to be tackled by the ministers. That is why the ministers are here,” he says, speaking as top diplomats began crunch talks in Vienna chasing a deal.
