Iran nuclear talks extended again; Friday new deadline

Six leading world powers and Iran acknowledged that they would miss a midnight Tuesday deadline for wrapping up a comprehensive nuclear deal, forcing them to extend talks for the fifth time in the last year.

Diplomats who last week emphasized the urgency of finishing work by the deadline said the important goal now was producing a sound deal. They set a new deadline of Friday, but acknowledged they were not certain when the work would be concluded.

“We’re more concerned about a quality deal than we are about the clock,” said Marie Harf, strategic communications advisor to Secretary of State John F. Kerry. “We’ve made substantial progress in all areas, but this work is highly technical and there are high stakes for all the countries involved.

“We are taking these negotiations day to day,” she said.

Missing the latest deadline means that the Obama administration may also fail to meet a congressional deadline of midnight Thursday for transmitting the deal and supporting documentation to lawmakers. If that deadline is broken, the period that Congress has given itself to review the deal will be extended to 60 days from 30 days.

The administration has been eager to meet that deadline, fearing an extension would allow time for critics to maneuver to undermine the agreement. But officials have said in recent days that missing the deadline would not be a serious setback.

Some of the foreign ministers who had arrived in the Austrian capital Sunday and Monday to try to resolve politically sensitive issues began to leave. Kerry, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said they would stay to continue work on the document and its voluminous technical annexes.

Iran and the six world powers -- the United States, France, Britain, Germany, Russia and China -- are seeking a deal that would ease sanctions on Iran if it agrees to restrictions aimed at preventing it from obtaining a nuclear bomb.

Diplomats have said since this round began June 26 that they had narrowed the remaining issues to three or four. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday that the remaining issues were now “less than 10.”

The negotiators missed deadlines in July and November of last year, and in March and June of this year. The negotiations have always moved ahead and are now closer to completion than they have ever been.

But the failure to complete the deal is fodder for critics in Washington who contend Iran is playing for time.

U.S. officials have accused Iran of using the deadline to try to build pressure for concessions. On Monday, Iranian raised an issue that apparently previously had not been a high priority: its desire to end, as part of the agreement, United Nations arms and missile embargoes on Iran.

Both Kerry and Zarif in recent days have made public comments suggesting the other side was obstructing progress in the days before the deadline. Kerry said Sunday the U.S. team was ready to leave the bargaining table if Iran’s terms didn’t meet requirements.

The weariness of negotiators is another issue, say people close to the talks. The top diplomats, including 71-year-old Kerry, have endured a punishing schedule of round-the-clock meetings. The technical staffs also have been working steadily for months.

Provisional Iran Nuclear Deal Expected Sunday: Diplomats

VIENNA (AP) — Negotiators at the Iran nuclear talks could reach a provisional agreement Sunday on a historic deal capping nearly a decade of diplomacy that would curb the country's atomic program in return for sanctions relief, diplomats told The Associated Press.

The two diplomats cautioned that final details of the pact were still being worked out and a formal agreement still awaits a review from the capitals of the seven nations at the talks. They said plans now are for the deal to be announced on Monday.

Senior U.S. and Iranian officials, however, cast doubt on the timing. All of the officials, who are at the talks, demanded anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the negotiations publicly.

"We are working hard, but a deal tonight is simply logistically impossible," the Iranian official said, noting that the agreement will run roughly 100 pages.

The senior U.S. official declined to speculate as to the timing of any agreement or announcement and noted that "major issues remain to be resolved in these talks."

Movement toward a deal has been marked by years of tough negotiations. The current round in Vienna has run more than two weeks and blown through three deadlines.

Even before the envoys spoke to the AP, the nuclear negotiations appeared on the way to an agreement.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who on Thursday had threatened to walk away from the negotiations, noted Sunday that "a few tough things" remain in the way but added "we're getting to some real decisions."

En route to Mass at Vienna's gothic St. Stephens Cathedral, Kerry said twice he was "hopeful" after a "very good meeting" Saturday with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who had Muslim services Friday.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius also was cautiously optimistic, telling reporters Sunday: "I hope that we are finally entering the last phase of this negotiation."

Iran would be able to supply weapons to its allies in the region with the full blessing of the international community, because the nuclear deal being prepared in Vienna includes partial lifting of arms trade sanctions, a source close to the talks said.

“The agreement states that the Iranians will continue supplying defensive weapons to its regional allies to fight against terrorism and extremism,” a source in the Iranian delegation told RIA Novosti.

The UN Security Council passed a number of sanctions against Tehran over its controversial nuclear program, including those restricting its arms trade. Iran and P5+1 group (the US, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany) are finalizing a comprehensive deal that would lift those sanctions as well as those imposed by individual nations in exchange for scaling down the program and making it more transparent.

Iran is believed to be secretly supplying weapons to a number of regional players, including the Lebanese militant movement Hezbollah and is accused of backing the Houthi Shiite rebels in Yemen.

On Sunday, Iran’s nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi said that Tehran and six leading world powers have agreed on most technical issues and annexes to a possible nuclear deal.

However diplomats say there are still stumbling blocks on the way to a final agreement. According to Reuters sources, the most difficult remaining issues in the negotiations are not technical, but political.

De wereldleiders die dinsdag een akkoord sloten met Iran, benadrukten dat de wereld er wat hen betreft veiliger op is geworden. Republikeinse politici in Washington buitelden juist over elkaar heen om het exacte tegendeel te betogen.

Voorzitter van het Huis van Afgevaardigden John Boehner reageerde fel: "In plaats van de verspreiding van kernwapens in het Midden-Oosten te stoppen, is het waarschijnlijk dat dit akkoord leidt tot een wereldwijde kernwapenwedloop." Ook presidentskandidaten van Republikeinse zijde deden een duit in het zakje. Wat kandidaat Marco Rubio betreft "ondermijnt het akkoord onze nationale veiligheid". "Ik heb vanaf het begin gezegd dat ik geen deal met Iran zal steunen die de mullah's de mogelijkheid laat om kernwapens te ontwikkelen, Israël te bedreigen en hun regionale expansiedrift en steun voor terrorisme voort te zetten."

Ook zijn concurrenten Mike Huckabee en Lindsey Graham waren er snel bij om in harde bewoordingen het akkoord te bekritiseren. Graham sprak van een "mogelijke doodstraf voor Israël".
