Iran Foreign Minister: We Believe We Are 'Very Close' to Nuke Deal
GENEVA — Iran has no intention of building a nuclear weapon, and the sooner the world recognizes that, the sooner there will be a deal aimed at curbing its nuclear capabilities in exchange for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told NBC News.
"Iran is not about building nuclear weapons," Zarif said in an exclusive interview with Ann Curry Wednesday. "We don't want to build nuclear weapons, we don't believe nuclear weapons bring security to anybody, certainly not to us."
Zarif said his country's nuclear ambitions were solely in the pursuit of "scientific advancement" and boosting national pride. "Once we reach that understanding, once this hysteria is out, once this fear mongering is out, then we can have a deal, and a deal that is not going to hurt anybody," he said.
He added: "We are prepared to work round the clock in order to reach an agreement. We believe that we are very close, very close and we could be very far." He said "there are details that need to be worked out."
"We are very close if the political decision can be made to get to yes, as President Obama said," he said.
The minister spoke a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared before the U.S. Congress, warning against a deal, which he said "paves Iran's path to the bomb."

Here it comes!! Right on time. Obama the all wise will have saved us once again.
HE CAN’T LEGALLY MAKE A DEAL ... IT’LL BE A TREATY IF HE DOES AND HE CAN’T LEGALLY DO IT
Unlike you And I. Obama does recognize the Constitution.
Iran wants the sanctions gone. It’s all about money. They’ll lie through their teeth as they always have.
As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says, this is a deal that will “pave the way” towards Iran getting nuclear weapons!!
you mean ... does NOT
You are correct, that’s what I meant to say. I can’t get used to the auto correction features on my iPhone.
Congress has to Approve the agreement to be binding on the USA BUT, Obama will just make the agreement abd have the USA act accordingly for the next 2 years, thereby assuring that Iran will soon have a nuclear bomb.
Watch for the boomity-boom test in the Iranian outback.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
