Rouhani lashes out at hard-line media over criticism of US nuclear talks
The US and Iran are unlikely to reach an agreement at the Vienna nuclear talks before the June 18 Iranian presidential elections.
Iranian and American negotiators continue to struggle to resolve differences over the US reentry into the 2015 nuclear deal.
On Saturday, negotiators will begin their sixth round of talks in Vienna. According to Iranian media sources, it is unlikely that all the technical and legal aspects of the talks will be resolved in this latest round. Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told reporters there are no new issues but that the key problems of US reentry and Iran returning to full compliance remain.
