Iran-U.S. nuclear talks could extend beyond Tuesday deadline

Sec. of State John Kerry

Negotiations aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program could extend beyond Tuesday's end-of-month deadline to secure a framework deal, according to the White House. "We will of course keep working if we are continuing to make progress,” a senior State Department official said in an email to The New York Times, "including into tomorrow, if it's useful to do so." The U.S. and five global powers set March 31 as the deadline for a preliminary deal, with June 30 the deadline to sign off on a comprehensive agreement.
