Steve Lendman – Iran Nuclear Deal: Getting Close, Hold The Cheers – 29 March 2015

Reports on progress are mixed. Reuters said “Iran and major powers are close to agreement on a 2- or 3-page accord with specific numbers that would form the basis of a long-term settlement aimed at ending a 12-year standoff over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, officials said on Friday.”

The New York Times quoted an unnamed State Department official saying:

“Yesterday’s and today’s talks have been tough and very serious.”

“We’re at that point in the negotiations where we really need to see decisions being made.”

“We will test whether that is truly possible over the next several days.”
