Senior representatives from Iran and the P5+1 countries are holding talks in the Austrian capital of Vienna over the text of a potential comprehensive deal between the two sides.

On Thursday, Iranian deputy foreign ministers, Seyyed Abbas Araqchi and Majid Takht-e Ravanchi, sat down for another session of nuclear talks with European Union deputy foreign policy chief Helga Schmid.

Diplomats from Iran and world powers are also scheduled to start a new round of nuclear negotiations in Vienna at 10.a.m. local time (0800 GMT) on Friday.

Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – Russia, China, France, Britain, and the United States – plus Germany are in talks to hammer out a comprehensive nuclear deal by June 30, a deadline set by the negotiating sides themselves.

The two sides reached mutual understanding on the fundamental parameters of a final accord in Lausanne, Switzerland, on April 2, and have since been working on the text of the deal.
