Kerry, Zarif meet in Iran nuclear talks

US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif on Wednesday went into bilateral talks after a midnight deadline was missed to agree the outlines of a nuclear deal, a US official says.

The meeting comes on the seventh straight day of talks in Switzerland between Iran and six world powers aimed at laying the groundwork for a potentially historic deal curtailing Iran’s nuclear program.

According to Israeli journalists tweeting from Lausanne, the Kerry-Zarif one-on-one lasts only 10 minutes.
