As the July 20 deadline for the interim nuclear deal looms and negotiators meet for the sixth and final round of talks, nuclear negotiators from the United States and Iran have each taken a tough stance in front of their domestic audiences. In interviews and op-eds, the negotiators have painted a pessimistic but realistic picture of a final deal between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (P5+1).
“The final agreement will have a time frame, and this is something that has been referenced in Geneva,” Iranian nuclear negotiator and Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Iranian Students’ News Agency. “This time frame is one of the issues being negotiated.”
