Iran's deputy FM arrives at Geneva hotel for talks on Tehran's nuclear program

2^min

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived at the Hotel President Wilson in Geneva on Tuesday (June 10) for talks with representatives of the United States and European Union about Tehran's nuclear program.

A senior official said on Monday Iran's talks with global powers on curbing its nuclear program in exchange for an end to sanctions could be extended for another six months if no deal is reached by a July 20 deadline.

U.S. and Iranian officials have been holding talks in Geneva since Monday to tackle ways of breaking a deadlock which has raised the likelihood that the deadline will lapse without a deal meant to head off the risk of a Middle East war over the nuclear issue.

The four-month-old round of negotiations ran into difficulty last month with each side accusing the other of making unrealistic demands, sowing doubt about prospects for a breakthrough next month.

Western officials say Iran wants to maintain a uranium enrichment capability far beyond what is suitable for civilian nuclear power stations. \\Iran says it wants to avoid reliance on foreign suppliers of fuel for planned nuclear reactors and rejects Western allegations it seeks the capability to make nuclear weapons under the guise of a peaceful energy program.

French officials are due to meet Iranian negotiators on Wednesday in Geneva before the six world powers meet to assess their strategy ahead of the next round of official negotiations with Iran beginning in Vienna on June 16.
