EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says the talks between Iran and the P5+1 group of world countries on Tehran’s nuclear program will continue “for the next couple of days.”

"We are continuing the talks for the next couple of days," Mogherini told reporters during a break from the negotiations in the Austrian capital, Vienna, on Tuesday.

In last-ditch efforts in search of a final agreement on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, Iran and its negotiating partners had already extended their deadline for the talks to Tuesday.

Mogherini added the two sides are "working very hard to finalize an agreement," saying, "We are using the time we have in a flexible way."
