Iran nuke talks lurch toward (another) deadline
2015-07-10
[ARABNEWS] Negotiations over Iran's nuclear program lurched toward another deadline on Thursday with diplomats reconvening amid persistent uncertainty and vague but seemingly hopeful pronouncements from participants.
Why bother having deadlines?
As the talks entered a 13th day in Vienna with a flurry of closed-door meetings, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said his nation was preparing for a "post-sanctions" era, suggesting that a deal may be in sight to curb the Iranian nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. His foreign minister, meanwhile, opined on Twitter that "with mutual respect, anything possible."

said in a tweet that he and the others were "continuing to discuss difficult issues" and "working diligently to see if agreement possible."

Kerry spoke by phone with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who is in Russia and voiced optimism, saying he was prepared to return to Vienna.

"On the basis of the principles of gradualism and reciprocity, we have come close to a final agreement, it is within the bounds of the attainable," Lavrov said.

In another hint that the talks might soon wrap up, the White House late Wednesday issued a brief statement saying President Barack Obama

had conferred with the US negotiating team through a secure video call.

#2  You mean a Mister Jawn joke?

Mister Jawn a high concept vehicle to hit the children of the target.

Mister Jawn a retired high government official moves into a new mansion with a stable. In the stable is a horse named Mister Dick who has the ability of speech. Mister Dick constantly berates Jawn about his work history. Laffs galore.
