Reuters: Kerry says unclear whether interim Iran deal within reach
(Reuters) - On the eve of fresh talks with Iran, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said it was unclear whether an interim agreement over its nuclear power program was within reach.
"I can't tell you whether or not we can get a deal, whether we are close," Kerry told a news conference on Saturday in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, where he attended an Egyptian investment summit.
"The purpose of these negotiations is not just to get a deal, it is to get the right deal," he added.
WNU Editor: These talks and its details are being kept secret .... so it is hard to comment on something that is still not being made public. But if I was to hazard guess .... the big problem/obstacle will be the clause(s) involving verification and inspections. The Iranians have been consistent in their demand that certain military installations must be exempted from international inspectors .... and as long as that condition remains, I have trouble seeing the White House being able to sell this deal to the Israelis and other Middle Eastern countries.
