Key Excerpts
According to media reports, among those gaps are the scope of Iran’s enrichment of uranium, which if further purified could be used to trigger a nuclear explosion, and its unfinished Arak research reactor, whose by-product waste could provide an alternative route to an atomic bomb.
“Let’s say we don’t come to an agreement by that deadline [July 20], we can extend that interim agreement by another six months,” Rouhani said.
