Iran nuclear talks intensify as key deadline nears

Talks have resumed in Switzerland ahead of tomorrow’s deadline for a preliminary nuclear deal with Iran.

Foreign Ministers from six world powers are meeting their Iranian counterpart amid hopes of a breakthrough after almost 18 months of negotiations.

They want to impose limits that would prevent Iran from producing enough fuel for a nuclear weapon within a year.

Iran, which insists its nuclear programme is peaceful, wants to see crippling sanctions lifted in return. Iranian and Western officials say a deal is possible, but that some issues are yet to be resolved.
