A major nuclear deal between world powers and Iran can still be achieved by next month as planned, Tehran said Wednesday as lack of progress recently raised fears the talks had hit a wall. Iran and the so-called P5+1 -- the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, plus Germany -- are trying to draft a potentially historic nuclear agreement by July 20. "We believe that we can meet the deadline set out in the Geneva agreement and we work toward that aim," Iran's ambassador to the UN atomic watchdog IAEA, Reza Najafi, said Wednesday in Vienna. Iran and the six world powers were widely expected to start drafting an agreement at their last meeting in Vienna, but came away speaking of "huge" gaps between their positions.
