Zarif called the negotiations with the six world powers an “unholy exercise”, but added that a collapse in the negotiations wouldn’t be a calamity.

“The lifting of sanctions must not be contingent on the implementation of Iran’s undertakings”. The administration successfully fought additional sanctions a year ago by warning lawmakers that such action would blow up the talks rather than increasing pressure on Iran to compromise.
“Because of who he is and because he is a leader now and will be the next Democratic leader, he’s going to be very important in this”, Liberman said of his ex- colleague. “It’s important to be driven by the content”.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said France would like a “robust agreement” with Iran. Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, who heads the USA team negotiating with Iran, has gone further in her assessment of the limited effectiveness of America’s military option against Iran.
Pressed on the matter, Earnest said: “We are mindful of what deadlines look like”. Another feather was that limiting long-range missile development, a crucial component in delivering any potential nuclear weapon, was abandoned in the talks. “I’d rather them keep talking and getting it to the right place”. Terms included the fact that Iran would be reduced to a mere 5000 centrifuges capable of producing weapons grade uranium.
“Iran can’t be granted opt-outs”, Fitzpatrick said, according to the Daily Telegraph. He said the talks could “take longer” than the June 30 deadline. “We know what they did”. Three in four (77%) believe that Majlis should have a role in deciding whether or not Iran would accept a deal, and four in five (81%) say that the Majlis should be able to prevent a deal that it finds at odds with Iran’s national interest. Khamenei has cautiously supported a deal. In May supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tehran “will not allow any inspections of military sites by foreigners”. Now that period stands at two months: If Iran decided to go to war with the west, they could walk away from the bargaining table, put the UN’s nuclear inspectors on a plane home from Tehran, and have the core of an atomic bomb ready by the end of August or so. The group says its advisory board includes ex- Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, now a Republican presidential candidate, ex- United Nations Ambassador John Bolton and Fox News contributor Patrick Caddell.
“The maintenance of some sanctions on Iran, even in a best-case scenario for nuclear diplomacy, and the threat of re-imposing tough economic sanctions if Iran circumvents the deal will serve concomitantly to temper what would otherwise be enthusiastic and potentially ubiquitous investment into Iran”. The negotiators are discussing a deal that will endanger Israel’s survival. Support for the deal may be complicated since attitudes about making a deal on the nuclear program are related to assumptions about whether all United States sanctions would be lifted and how quickly Iranians would experience various benefits from sanctions relief.
