Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has said that clinching a final nuclear deal with world powers is still “possible”.
“Agreement is possible. But illusions need to go. Opportunity shouldn’t be missed again,” Zarif posted on a social media website.
The comments came after Tehran and six world powers-Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany-ended a fourth round of nuclear talks in Vienna with no reported progress.
The negotiations are due to resume in Vienna next month.
The six powers, known as the P5+1, want Iran to limit nuclear work in exchange for lifting economic sanctions.
Tehran has frozen some nuclear activities for six months in return for minor sanctions relief under a temporary deal that expires on July 20.
