Iran’s foreign minister said a possible nuclear deal between Iran and six major powers would not be announced on Sunday.
“We still have got work to do and no deal will be announced on Sunday … also there will be no extension after tomorrow,” Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters.
Iran and the powers said they were close to nailing down a deal that would bring sanctions relief in return for curbs on Tehran’s nuclear program.
