Iran's President Hassan Rouhani says progress made in nuclear talks means a final deal could be reached.
"It is possible to reach an agreement and there is nothing that cannot be resolved," Iranian state media quoted him as saying.


Six world powers are negotiating a deal with Iran aimed at limiting its nuclear activity, with a late March deadline.
Iran insists its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes but world powers fear it has military ambitions.
Mr Rouhani said: "In this round of talks, shared points of view emerged in some of the areas where there had been a difference of opinion."
They could become "a foundation for a final agreement", he said, according to state news agency Irna.
Iran has been in talks with the so-called P5+1 - the US, UK, France, China and Russia plus Germany - who want it to scale back sensitive nuclear activities to ensure that it cannot develop a nuclear weapon.
Both sides have set themselves deadlines of 31 March for a political framework agreement and 30 June for a final deal.
