Marathon talks on a deal to temporarily curb Iran's nuclear program have broken down after a negotiations between foreign ministers ran into trouble late last night.

France raised objections to a draft agreement, complaining it did not go far enough to contain Iran's nuclear ambitions.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and foreign ministers of six other delegations conferred with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a late-night session which broke up after midnight.

The French foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, told France Inter radio yesterday that Paris would not accept a 'sucker's deal'.

They complained the text which was drafted as part of the agreement had been presented a 'fait accompli' and did not want to be forced into a a deat.

EU foreign policy chief Barones Ashton said 'a lot of concrete progress has been made but differences remain' with Tehran.

Will the new Iranian chant now be “Death to France, Death to Israel?”

Has France replaced the United States as the “Big Satan?”

Or are we now sized up as the “Medium Satan?”

I expect Zer0/Kerry to strike a separate deal with Iran.

An Executive Order?

When France is the bulwark of freedom and the USA is represented by J F’n Kerry to sell out to Iran, you realize how far our country has fallen. Shameful.

Kerry wants the world to know that he’s working to assure what is best for the “United States and the globe”...
