Diplomats negotiating over Iran’s atomic program ended the latest round of talks in Vienna without advancing their bid to reach a deal by July to impose nuclear curbs in exchange for a lifting of sanctions.

The sides will meet twice next month in the Austrian capital to try to hammer out an accord, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said. “There was no tangible progress in this round, but the trend of negotiations was good,” Araghchi said at a briefing late yesterday broadcast by Press TV. “No drafting will be done until both sides have reached a mutual viewpoint.”
