US now indicates Iran interim deal wasnt quite finalized Technical details have yet to be worked out, State Department says, meaning six-month countdown to permanent deal hasnt started and Iran isnt bound by any new terms
Iran is currently enjoying a window of time before the six-month deal signed in Geneva early Sunday goes into effect, during which it is not bound to take any credible steps toward disabling its ability to produce a nuclear weapon, the State Department acknowledged Tuesday.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that the six-month interim period, during which Iran would take steps to rein in its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, has not yet begun. Furthermore, there are still a number of details to be worked out, she said, without specifying what points had yet to be finalized.
Her comments created confusion as to whether the much-touted interim deal, supposedly reached by P5+1 powers and Iran in Geneva in the early hours of Sunday morning, had actually been completed as claimed. Iran on Tuesday accused the US of publishing an inaccurate account of what had been agreed. And its Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in an address to the Iranian parliament Wednesday that Iran would continue construction on the Arak heavy water plant, in an apparent breach of the ostensibly agreed terms.
The next step here is a continuation of technical discussions at a working level so that we can essentially tee up the implementation of the agreement, Psaki told reporters Tuesday. Obviously, once thats those technical discussions are worked through, I guess the clock would start. Obviously, therell also be a reconvening of the political track with the P5+1, which Under Secretary Sherman will continue to be our lead negotiator on.

Obamao interuptus
Yeah,..we left out that ballistic missile thingamabob clause,..have to catch that the next $4.2 billion around... /s
Iran gets six month extension yet US citizens cannot get extension for avoiding Obamacare penalty.
I see what happened. The US got rolled on Arak and rather than admitting it they are claiming the deal was not complete.
OMG! Amateur hour! Even liberals can’t defend this degree of stupidity. But they will.
Jerkballs.
We would do better with amateur.
They had to roll the thing out Sat night even though unfinished because Obamacare is killing them. They could not handle another round of Sunday morning talk shows leading with O Care.
Why do you people let these idiots stay in power one hour longer?
so, nothing really happened except a lie again
These people currently in leadership positions of all aspects within our government are effing idiots. The entire lot, every player must be removed from effectively persuing the demise of our Republic NOW.
If the deal is not in effect, why were the sanctions lifted enabling the Iranians access to their money? At least I seem to remember that already happening in the past week?
This administration is one gigantic cluster.
Pray for America and Israel.
I think it's the eyes....
Shovel ready...not.
It’s everything but the hair!
