#1 But because the White House badly wants the talks to go on, the Iranians can spin out the negotiating process pretty much at will.

We need some real negotiators on are side. Extending the deadlines only works to the advantage of Iran.

#3 As per TOPIX, facing regional threats from both ISIS + Iran, the GCC is repor being forced to cooper + unite agz the common foes.

The danger is real that in order to stop the growing influence of [SSSHHHH ... CCCCC OWG Co-Superpower] Iran, the Saudi-led GCC may hire out the ISIS to deter + fight the same - THIS SCENARIO COULD POTEN LEAD TO A DE FACTO US-IRAN WAR, as Iran will NOT easily give up its newfound authority as a Co-Superpower, nor will it allow the GCC + ISIS to abuse or kill local Shias.
