US Now Indicates Iran Interim Deal Wasn’t Quite Finalized -- Times of Israel
‘Technical details’ have yet to be worked out, State Department says, meaning six-month countdown to permanent deal hasn’t started and Iran isn’t bound by any new terms
WASHINGTON — Iran is currently enjoying a “window” of time before the six-month deal signed in Geneva early Sunday goes into effect, during which it is not bound to take any credible steps toward disabling its ability to produce a nuclear weapon, the State Department acknowledged Tuesday.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that the six-month interim period, during which Iran would take steps to rein in its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, has not yet begun. Furthermore, there are still a number of details to be worked out, she said, without specifying what points had yet to be finalized.

My Comment: If the details have not been worked out .... how can anyone even call this an interim deal. In fact .... as each day passes by it becomes clear that this agreement was not really an agreement but a deal to lift a few sanctions and to give a grace period of 6 months for some details to be discussed and worked out .... maybe. Adding more fuel to the confusion .... even John Kerry's comments in the above video on verification do not make sense .... because in the eyes of the Iranians .... there is no clause for verification.
