Iran Nuclear Talks May Extend Overnight - Fabius
Earlier in the day, de Riviere told Sputnik that Fabius’ presence at the Iranian nuclear talks will benefit the negotiations process.

The P5+1 group of six world powers comprising Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China and Germany tries to reach a deal with Tehran guaranteeing a peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear program.

A new round of P5+1 talks with Tehran kicked off in Lausanne on March 19. It was expected to conclude last Sunday, but the negotiations were prolonged.

The deadline to reach the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear program is set for July 1, 2015.
