'Deal possible in nuclear talks' - Iran president

President Hassan Rouhani has expressed confidence in an agreement being reached on Iran's nuclear programme, which is due to be discussed today in London. 

President Rouhani said this morning that although differences remain in nuclear talks with the West there is no issue that cannot be resolved and a deal can be done.

"I believe an agreement is possible. There is nothing that cannot be resolved and the other party must make its final decision for this," the official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying.

President Rouhani's comments came a day after the latest round of talks between Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers - Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany- ended without a breakthrough.

The marathon talks are aimed at putting an Iranian nuclear bomb out of reach in exchange for easing sanctions on its economy.

"In this round of negotiations (in Lausanne, Switzerland) there were differences on some issues," President Rouhani said, noting that "common views emerged that can be the basis of a final agreement."

However he added: "Some points of disagreement persist."

The negotiations are to resume on Wednesday, leaving the two sides with just one week to meet a 31 March deadline for agreeing the outlines of a nuclear deal they hope will end a 12-year deadlock.

Speaking today US Secretary of State John Kerry said that world powers were "united" in their nuclear talks with Iran, amid speculation of splits with France, and stressed that he would not "rush" into a bad deal.

"I emphasise: We are united in our goal, our approach, our resolve and our determination to ensure that Iran's programme is entirely peaceful," Mr Kerry said in Switzerland before leaving for London for talks with his German, French and British counterparts.

Yesterday Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif urged the United States and five other world powers to drop the pressure in nuclear negotiations and agree a deal.

In a message posted on his Twitter account, Mohammad Javad Zarif said the time had come for the US and its allies to make a choice on the issue of nuclear power.
