The United States is hopeful and sees a path to reaching a “very good” Iran nuclear deal in the coming days, but tough decisions will have to be made to finalize the accord, a senior US official said June 25, ahead of what is expected to be an intense, marathon final round of negotiations getting underway in Vienna this weekend.
US Secretary of State John Kerry will fly to Vienna June 26 to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz will also attend the Vienna talks. However, Moniz’s Iranian counterpart, Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, is not expected to come to Vienna, sources said, apparently for health reasons.
