VIENNA - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Thursday urged all parties in nuclear talks between Iran and six world powers to show flexibility in order to finally resolve a 12-year dispute over Tehran's atomic program.
The negotiations, under way in Vienna, are deadlocked, officials say, and will probably have to be extended due to a number of sticking points, such as limits on Iran's uranium enrichment and the speed at which sanctions on Tehran would be lifted.

"He is convinced that such an accord can contribute to the strengthening of regional and international peace and security at a time when global cooperation is needed perhaps more than ever," the statement said, adding that Ban hoped a deal would "restore confidence in the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program."
