Iran Ready to Continue Nuclear Talks, But No End in Sight Yet
The foreign ministers of Iran, Germany, France, China and the United States are already in Switzerland. Russia's Sergei Lavrov and UK's Phillip Hammond are expected to join the talks in a few hours.

The negotiating parties have been making attempts to reach an agreement on the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program for a long time, with the West accusing Tehran of developing nuclear weapons.

The negotiators are expected to work out a comprehensive agreement guaranteeing the peaceful nature of the program by July.
