WSJ: Iran Nuclear Talks in ‘Pretty Tough’ Stage, U.S. Official Says

The official said ‘we all expected that things would get more difficult’ in trying to seal a final deal before June 30.

Nuclear negotiations between Iran and six international powers are going through a “pretty tough” stage, but everyone is focused on sealing a deal by the June 30 deadline, a senior U.S. administration official said Wednesday.

The official said “we all expected that things would get more difficult before we would break through again” to reach a final nuclear deal but “everyone in the room is focused on 30th of June.”

“It doesn’t help any of us to delay difficult decisions. They don’t get easier with time,” the person said.

Iran and the six powers — the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Russia and China — reached a framework nuclear deal on April 2 and are now trying to complete a fleshed-out full agreement.

WNU Editor: These talks have been "tough" since Day One.
