Foreign ministers of Iran and the United States have resumed talks in the Swiss city of Lausanne in an attempt to bridge their differences on the outstanding issues surrounding Tehran's nuclear program.

The talks headed by Irans Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and US Secretary of State John Kerry resumed in Lausanne on Wednesday.

Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Ali Akbar Salehi, US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman are also present in the meeting.

On Tuesday, Salehi said that Tehran and Washington have resolved their differences over 90 percent of the issues in the talks.

We have reached mutual understanding on 90 percent of technical issues, Salehi told IRIB news, adding that there remains only a singlesticking point, which is very important.
