The Guardian: Showdown in Lausanne: Iran nuclear talks enter their final stretch
The Iranians are bullish and the Americans are cautious thirteen days before deadline. Meanwhile, the Netanyahu win in Israel has cast an air of uncertainty and urgency over the negotiations on the shores of Lake Geneva
At each stage of the Iranian nuclear negotiations the luxury hotel venues have grown steadily posher. The Beau-Rivage Palace Hotel in Lausanne represents a new peak. An imposing edifice on the banks of Lake Geneva, crammed with solid marble and surrounded by sprawling lawns, it is where the Treaty of Lausanne was signed in 1923, marking the final death rites for the Ottoman Empire and defining the borders of modern Turkey.

If you put yourself in Iran's seat, you have to ask the question why sign? What would we gain by signing vs continuing negotiations? The lifting of sanctions, they've lived with them for 36 yrs, a couple years more won't hurt (if the sanctions are all that effective). The pressure is on the US administration to get a signed deal as quickly as possible not Iran. The wild cards are Iraq (Tikrit) and Israel, which hover over everything like Dickensian wraiths.
