[QUOTE="BES76, post: 1102216, member: 6301"] I've kept a watch on the Iranian negotiations for many years now, and it never ceases to amaze me how many 'headlines' have proclaimed a break through or success is imminent. Everyone seems to forget that Iran's position has always been 'anything that restricts my nuclear program is off the table ... otherwise negotiations are going great'. [url]http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/iran-foreign-minister-we-believe-we-are-very-close-nuke-n317356[/url] Now I'm wondering just what the h__l Obama and Kerry think they're negotiating. "He (Zarif) added: "We are prepared to work round the clock in order to reach an agreement. We believe that we are very close, very close [B]and we could be very far[/B]." He said "there are details that need to be worked out." "We are very close[B] if the political decision can be made to get to yes, as President Obama said[/B]," he said.
