Six world powers and Iran are on pace to start drafting the text of a comprehensive Iran nuclear accord in May, with the aim of reaching a final agreement by the July 20th expiration of the six month interim deal, a senior US official said Friday ahead of the third round of final deal talks in Vienna next week.
“We have set out a work plan on how to proceed to get a comprehensive agreement…and we are on pace with that work plan and look to begin drafting in May,” the senior US administration official, speaking not for attribution, told journalists in a conference call briefing Friday.
