NEW YORK (Reuters) - Many OPEC ministers meeting in Vienna Thursday may be giving quiet thanks that world powers who just met in that city failed to reach a nuclear accord with Tehran, pushing back for another six months any potential revival in Iran's oil exports.
On Monday, the deadline for concluding nuclear talks aimed at resolving a 12-year-old dispute over the country's nuclear programme, Iran and six major powers agreed to another extension in the talks until June 30, 2015. While Iran's president Hassan Rouhani said on Monday that gaps had narrowed and positions were becoming closer, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said significant disagreement remained.
