'Inshallah,' Kerry says on possible nuclear deal with Iran
[Hurriyet Daily News] A nuclear deal with Iran is possible 'If Allah wills," U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... has reportedly said. The chief U.S. negotiator at the Iran nuclear talks used the term "Inshallah," an Arabic term which translates as "If Allah wills," when asked by an Iranian student about the future of the talks when he was shopping for chocolates, IRN news agency reported on March 31, citing Al-Monitor news hound Laura Rozen. With a deadline hours away, Iran and six world powers ramped up the pace on March 31 in negotiations over a preliminary deal on Tehran's nuclear program, while officials cautioned that any agreement would likely be fragile and incomplete, Rooters reported. For nearly a week, the United States, Britannia, La Belle France, Germany, Russia and China have been trying to break an impasse in the talks, which are aimed at stopping Iran from gaining the capacity to develop a nuclear bomb in exchange for easing international sanctions that are crippling its economy. But disagreements on enrichment research and the pace of lifting sanctions threatened to scupper a deal that could end a 12-year standoff between Iran and the West over Tehran's nuclear ambitions and reduce the risk of another Middle East war. "The two sticking points are the duration and the lifting of sanctions," an Iranian official said. "The two sides are arguing about the content of the text. Generally, progress has been made."
