Washington Post: Iran sets strict conditions for nuclear deal
Just days before Secretary of State John F. Kerry heads to Vienna to join nuclear talks with Iran, the country’s supreme leader is staking out what he considers the “major red lines,” any one of which could sink a deal.
In a speech Tuesday night, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei laid out several demands, including the lifting of economic sanctions as soon as a deal is reached and before Iran dismantles some of its nuclear infrastructure. He also ruled out a freeze on nuclear research and development, inspections of military sites and restrictions lasting 10 years or more.
“We don’t accept 10-year restriction,” he said. “We have told the negotiating team how many specific years of restrictions are acceptable. Research and development must continue during the years of restrictions.”

Suleimani has been relieved of his Syrian duties.
Thank you James for the heads-up. Nothing on the wires yet, but I will post when it becomes available.
Don't know when or how it'll come out, if I get time I'll look around.
A quick look showed DEBKA had something on it(for what that's worth), but I didn't see anything else. Later
