Iran and world major powers on Friday extended the deadline of the ongoing Iran nuclear deal for the third time till Monday, giving more time for negotiators to agree on a deal.
Iran and P5+1 group -- Britain, China, France, Russia, the US plus Germany - were negotiating over the past 18 months to reach a long-term deal over Tehran's atomic plans.
