Iran says differences over implementing nuclear deal solved

Differences between Iran and the world powers over implementing an interim nuclear deal have been solved, Iran's top nuclear negotiator Abbas Araqchi said Friday. "Nuclear talks ended in Geneva (on Friday) and agreement reached on the remaining issues," Araqchi was quoted as saying by Press TV. "Announcement will be made in the next few days if parties agree to do so," he added. Iran and the European Union (EU) held a meeting in Geneva on Thursday and Friday to discuss remaining issues pertaining to the implementation of the interim nuclear deal clinched between Tehran and the major world powers in November. Abbas Araqchi met with Helga Schmid, a deputy of European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who has overseen contacts between Iran and the six major powers on the country's nuclear issue. Nuclear experts from Iran and the six powers have held three rounds of talks to resolve various technical issues before the Geneva deal can be put into place.
