The Guardian: Iran nuclear deal 'very close' as Netanyahu brings negotiators together
American and Iranian diplomats find common ground rejecting Israeli leader’s combative approach to negotiations, but also agree serious hurdles remain to meeting March deadline
The long and convoluted negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme adjourned on Wednesday amid talk of continuing progress towards a comprehensive deal but of tough political decisions still to be made.
The talks will resume on March 15, probably in Geneva, as the latest deadline for agreement looms at the end of the month.
Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif said a deal was “very close”, telling NBC that he and his team were prepared to carry on working through the Persian New Year celebration of Nowruz starting on March 21.
WNU Editor: Everyone is going to deny the story/speculation/rumor that the White House decided to double down on the Iranian nuclear talks after Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu did his speech to the U.S. Congress just to "poke him in the eye" .... and I am also one of those who believes that Netanyahu's speech will have zero impact on the talks .... but you have to wonder.
