Vienna, July 7, IRNA - British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond emphasized there was a clear political will to get a nuclear accord with Iran.

Speaking to the press in Vienna on Tuesday, Hammond said he would depart the Austrian capital for London but would return with the other foreign ministers of the six world powers to rejoin the Iran talks in Vienna Thursday evening.

He reiterated there were still a range of issues to be discussed which required political discussions as well as trade-offs.

Hammond made clear both sides had to make difficult decisions.

Talks between the E3 plus 3 are to continue beyond the July 7 deadline as both sides are working feverishly to nail down an agreement over the next couple of days.
