U.S. News and World Report/Al-Monitor: Differences Emerge in U.S., Iran Interpretations of Nuclear Deal
The two countries' statements show important discrepancies on key issues that need to be resolved before the June 30 deadline.
After eight days and nights of intense negotiations, on April 2 Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Federica Mogherini, the European Union foreign and security policy chief, presented a joint statement on behalf of Iran and the P5+1 nations, the five members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, regarding Iran’s nuclear program.
Immediately afterward, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs informally and through the Iranian media published the Persian-language document “A Summary of the Solutions Reached as an Understanding for Reaching a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.” The Americans followed suit and published a similar document, “Parameters for a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action Regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran's Nuclear Program,” as a Media Note on the US Department of State website. The differences between the two are far-reaching, and some could, if unresolved, seriously jeopardize the ongoing negotiations.

WNU Editor: The following are tweets from Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on what is his take on the nuclear talks .... bottom line .... Iran and the U.S. do not see eye to eye.
On outcome of recent talks, I’m neither for nor against it;according to officials,yet no measure has been taken& there’s no binding results.
— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) April 9, 2015Hours after the #talks, Americans offered a fact sheet that most of it was contrary to what was agreed.They always deceive &breach promises.
— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) April 9, 2015All #sanctions should be removed just when the deal is reached. If sanctions removal depends on another process then why we started to talk?
— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) April 9, 2015No unconventional inspection that’d place Iran under special monitoring is acceptable. Foreign monitoring on #Iran’s security isn’t allowed.

One would ideally expect administrations that are more hesitant to use force to make up for it with diplomacy...but the diplomacy since Kerry came in seems to just be frankly abysmal.
It seems this is the administration of missed opportunities.
Maybe we need the legal minds of Bill Clinton to help navigate through these framework agreements. What does 'is' really mean????
Could Kerry negotiate any worse or better than Obama?
Or in other words if Obama were negotiating with Khamanei, would you expected a different outcome?
