Western Official: Iran Nuclear Deal May Be Imminent -- CNN

(CNN) -- Momentum appears to be building for a breakthrough deal on Iran's nuclear program, with top diplomats flocking to the site of ongoing talks and one Western official saying Friday a deal could be reached "as soon as tonight."

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and British Foreign Secretary William Hague will both be in Geneva on Saturday.

They'll join Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov as well as European Union's foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who have been the key players in the latest round of discussions.

My Comment: Using history as my guideline, I am skeptical that a deal is going to happen. But .... all the top foreign ministers involved in these talks are now flying to Geneva, and I know that they would not be doing this if a deal was not possible.

Update: Kerry heads to Geneva, may then visit Israel if deal is signed -- Times of Israel
