US negotiators say they feel they are close to finalizing a nuclear agreement with Iran for the first time in a decade.
“For the first time in nearly a decade we are getting close to [reaching agreement on] the first step towards a comprehensive agreement that would stop Iran’s nuclear program from advancing, and put time on the clock to reach a negotiated agreement that addresses all of our concerns,” a senior US administration official told journalists at a background briefing at the State Department Friday.
