TEHRAN, July 17 (MNA) � Media reports say Iran, 5+1 negotiations in Vienna might continue beyond July 20 deadline.

Iranian diplomats have reportedly criticized other party for not being able to make its mind between �technical negotiations� and �political gesture.�


While Vienna 6 talks is not likely to reach an agreement by July 20 deadline agreed upon in Joint Plan of Action in Geneva, a negotiator has said on condition of anonymity that a 3-month extension is likely according to the atmosphere of current negotiations. According to Geneva deal, Iran, 5+1 negotiations can be extended until November 23.


Earlier, Mohammad Javad Zarif had told reporters that negotiations had made enough progress to make an extension reasonable.


Meanwhile, it is alleged that the next round of talks could be between Iran and the United States. Some expert believe that European states do not play a serious role in talks and their participation can only add to differences.


In a short speech in Imam Ali Islamic Center of Vienna on Wednesday night, Zarif pointed that the United States and European countries disagree on a timeframe for continuation of talks.
