Iran Nuclear Resolution Possible by July 20, Rouhani Says

A deal on Iran’s nuclear program is possible by July 20 and talks will continue between Tehran and six major powers if the deadline is not met, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said today at a press conference to mark a year since the election that propelled him to power.

“If our counterparts have the necessary determination and goodwill, it’s possible to reach an agreement in five weeks, but if we don’t reach one, we will continue with negotiations,” Rouhani told a gathering of foreign and Iranian journalists in Tehran. Iran won’t return to the past, he said.
