[Ynet] British Foreign Secretary Phillip Hammond says target to reach a "headline agreement" within next three months, notes that during extension period, Tehran able to continue to access around $700 million per month in sanctions relief.

Iran and six powers failed for a second time this year on Monday to resolve their 12-year dispute over Tehran's nuclear ambitions and gave themselves seven more months to overcome the deadlock that has prevented them from clinching an historic deal.

Western officials said they were aiming to secure an agreement on the substance of a final accord by March but that more time would be needed to reach a consensus on the all-important technical details.
