The end of a pointless exercise, because Iran only wanted to see how much ransom they could get while they continued to work toward workable nuclear bombs? Or only a pause in the pointless exercise, etc?
[IsraelTimes] Iran’s top diplomat at monthslong talks aimed at restoring its tattered nuclear deal with world powers has flown home for a sudden trip, a sign of the growing pressure on Tehran as the negotiations appear to be nearing their end.Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency describes Ali Bagheri Kani’s trip late Monday as being "within the framework of the usual consultations during the talks."
However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat...
the top negotiator for the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...seems to suggest whether the talks succeeded or failed now rested with the Islamic Theocratic
Republic.
"There are no longer ’expert level talks.’ Nor ’formal meetings,’" Enrique Mora wrote on Twitter, responding to comments by an Iranian analyst. "It is time, in the next few days, for political decisions to end the #ViennaTalks. The rest is noise."
