  1. A dispute over UN sanctions on Iran's ballistic missile programme and a broader arms embargo were among issues holding up a nuclear deal between Tehran and six world powers today, the day before their latest self-imposed deadline...

    "The Iranians want the ballistic missile sanctions lifted. They say there is no reason to connect it with the nuclear issue, a view that is difficult to accept," one Western official told Reuters news agency. "There's no appetite for that on our part."

    Iranian and other Western officials confirmed this view. The foreign ministers of the six powers - Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States - met with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamed Javad Zarif - and were expected to meet again soon - to try to strike a deal by Tuesday night..................http://www.rte.ie/news/2015/0706/712887-iran/

  2. Chinese FM joins Iran nuclear talks as deadline looms ...

    Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has returned to Vienna for the second time in a week to join the Iran nuclear talks as a self-imposed deadline for a deal is due to expire today.

    Wang says the talks have achieved significant progress but differences remain.

    "There are still a few issues left on the conference table, and from our point of view, it is possible that we could find solutions for these issues. That is to say, a comprehensive Iran nuclear agreement is at our fingertips. Monday and Tuesday will be the critical time for all parties, especially the United States and Iran, to make a final political decision."

    As part of Monday's session, Wang Yi had a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

    Iran and the five UN Security Council permanent members plus Germany are trying to reach a final comprehensive agreement on Iran's controversial nuclear program.

    Both parties are hoping to clinch a deal today, setting a decade of restrictions on the nuclear program and granting Iran significant relief from international sanctions.

    Some Western officials say a dispute over U.N. sanctions on Iran's ballistic missile program and a broader arms embargo are among issues holding up a deal.

    Iran is reportedly insisting that all the UN sanctions, including on the ballistic missiles, should be lifted but world powers want it to be remain under sanctions.

    Separately, a senior Iranian official says Tehran wants a UN arms embargo terminated as well but a Western diplomat says a removal is "out of the question".
