It increasingly appears there will not be an agreement with Iran to limit its nuclear activities -- at least not by June 30.
On Monday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met in Vienna with the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Yukiya Amano. Their talks came a day before the deadline that negotiators had set to reach a nuclear deal.
As he prepared to meet with Mr. Amano, Mr. Kerry said “we are just working and it is too early to make any judgments.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was not at the talks. He returned to Iran late Sunday. But he is expected to return to Vienna on Tuesday.
Mr. Kerry and Mr. Zarif met several times on Sunday. Mr. Kerry also met with the British foreign secretary and the German foreign minister.
On Sunday, officials from Iran, the U.S. and Europe said the negotiations were likely to continue past the deadline.
