New York Times: Hurdles Loom in Iran Nuclear Talks, U.S. Official Says
LAUSANNE, Switzerland — A senior State Department official said Friday night that the negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program had turned difficult and that an initial accord would not be possible unless the Iranian leadership made “tough decisions” over the coming days.
“Yesterday’s and today’s talks have been tough and very serious,” the official said. “We’re at that point in the negotiations where we really need to see decisions being made. We will test whether that is truly possible over the next several days.”
The sober tone of the assessment was starkly different from one provided Wednesday night to reporters traveling on Secretary of State John Kerry’s flight to Switzerland. At that time, the official said the Obama administration saw “a path forward” that could enable negotiators to achieve an agreement by Tuesday.
