New York Times: Iran Nuclear Talks Extended to Wednesday, Negotiators Say
LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Negotiators from the United States, Iran and five other nations extended their deadline until Wednesday as they struggled to agree on a preliminary accord to limit Tehran’s nuclear program.
With a previously enunciated deadline just hours away, and after a full day of talks with most of the foreign ministers from the seven countries involved in the negotiations, an American official said that they were still working to resolve several issues.
“We’ve made enough progress in the last days to merit staying until Wednesday,” said Marie Harf, a State Department spokeswoman. “There are several difficult issues remaining.”
WNU Editor: My guess is that US Sec. of State Kerry is staying for one more day to try and bring back something "concrete" to Washington to show to Congress that progress is being made. My prediction .... he will have nothing for the simple reason that the Iranians are not willing to budge on giving up their enrich material nor are they interested in scaling back their research. In turn .... the U.S. Congress will now need to decide if they should impose additional sanctions against Iran when they get back from their recess in two weeks.
