VIENNA, June 30 (UPI) -- The deadline for completion of a nuclear agreement with Iran was moved from Tuesday to July 7, the U.S. State Department announced.
The extension was agreed to by Iran and the "P5+1" countries – the United States, China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and Germany – during negotiations in Vienna to "allow more time for negotiations to reach a long-term solution," and came after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif met privately for two hours Tuesday.
