As Iran Deadline Approaches, European Leaders More Skeptical Than American Counterparts Over - Video
Heading toward a deadline tomorrow, diplomats seeking to strike a deal to curb Irans nuclear ambitions are pushing to resolve disagreements that threaten to scuttle or extend the negotiations.
U.S., European and Iranian officials said yesterday that many issues must be resolved in less than 48 hours if they are to reach a breakthrough accord that would constrain Irans nuclear activities and phase out international sanctions on the Islamic Republic. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined to provide specifics.
Negotiators may have to decide as early as today whether to set aside those efforts in order to ready a fall-back agreement. Such a deal may extend the current interim understanding, known as the joint plan of action, for three to six months to allow for additional bargaining.
The possibility of an extension has not yet been discussed among the negotiators, the officials said.
Iran remains focused on a final accord, even if that means continuing the current round of talks for a couple of extra days beyond Nov. 24, an Iranian official said, asking not to be named because the talks are confidential.
That could cause problems for the U.S. delegation, since U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has expected have his team home in time for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday on Nov. 27. An alternative may be to break for the holiday and resume talks early next week.
A State Department official, also speaking anonymously, said late yesterday that the focus remains on the agreement, although U.S. officials have started discussing internally and with European allies other options for how to proceed.
Kerry is expected to meet again this morning with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and European Union representative Catherine Ashton.
We still have some serious gaps which were working to close, Kerry said yesterday before meeting his German colleague, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier. A lot of serious work is going on by a lot of people.
An interim deal, in which Iran agreed to scale back its nuclear activities in return for an easing of economic sanctions by the six countries, is set to expire tomorrow.
