JOHN KERRY: Iran nuclear talks extended.

An extension of the deadline for a nuclear deal with Iran has been made after talks in Vienna failed to reach a comprehensive agreement.

The ongoing negotiations are aimed at getting Tehran to curb it's most sensitive uranium enrichment rendering it unable to make a nuclear weapon in rapid time.

The West is offering the relaxation of sanctions including the announcement Monday that Iran will continue to be able to access 700 million dollars of frozen assets in the interim period.

US Secretary of State John Kerry says the plan is for a full peace plan to be in place within 7 months but to have a political agreement within 4 months.
