Iran�s nuclear talks are worth continuing despite a delay in the deadline to reach a comprehensive agreement and despite existing differences, White House spokesperson Josh Earnest said during a press briefing on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) � The original deadline set for reaching a comprehensive agreement was June 30, while the new deadline expires on July 7, 2015.

�We have never been closer to reaching a final agreement then we are now, but there continue to be some significant differences that remain, and this is a view not just of the United States but this is the view of all of our P5+1 partners as well,� Earnest said.

�So, that�s an indication that these talks at least for now are worth continuing and that is what is driving this decision making process.�
Earlier on Tuesday, a senior source from the Iranian delegation told Sputnik that negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries could continue until at least Monday.
Earnest said that the United States was still fixated on the quality of a potential deal.
