The US secretary of state, John Kerry, arrived at nuclear talks with Iran in Vienna on Thursday, insisting negotiators were focused on reaching agreement by the Monday deadline.
Kerry was responding to remarks on Wednesday by his British counterpart, Philip Hammond, who suggested that the deadline would have to be extended.
“We are not discussing an extension. We are negotiating to have an agreement. It’s that simple,” Kerry said in Paris before boarding the flight to Vienna. “I know that secretary Hammond is concerned about the gaps. We all are.
Both sides are taking this process seriously and both sides are trying to find common ground. That does not mean we agree on everything. But it does mean we have discussed in detail the full range of relevant issues that have to be part of a durable and comprehensive agreement.”
While in Paris Kerry held talks with the foreign ministers of France and Saudi Arabia. Those talks were intended to help maintain the support of both countries – among the most hawkish on Iran – for the negotiations over a comprehensive deal.
Meanwhile, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Yukiya Amano, complained that Iran had not been cooperating with its inquiry into evidence of past Iranian development work on nuclear weapons.
“I call upon Iran to increase its cooperation with the agency and to provide timely access to all relevant information, documentation, sites, material and personnel,” Amano told the IAEA’s governing board, which comprises the organisation’s member states.

2 more years of Obama Admin goes from Disaster to Disaster
Kerry is as much a traitor to the US as he is a liar about war wounds. The man who negotiated with the VC and sold us out is trying to again. Iran has already refused to be inspected period. Go home Kerry.
“In the process we created a nation of refugees, bomb craters, amputees, orphans, widows, and prostitutes, and we gave new meaning to the words of the Roman historian Tacitus: ‘Where they made a desert they called it peace,’” Kerry explained...
Kerry predicted that as a result of their experiences during the war, veterans like himself “will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars...We will not uphold traditions which decorously memorialize that which was base and grim,” he wrote.
Reporting for duty....
Meanwhile, the centrifuges spin.........
Nuke Vienna!
Yes... Seems like they ALREADY had an agreement, and are coming up on the deadline. Does not seem like there is a reason to be negotiating further, IMHO.
Gee Kerry going get last minute deal out of this?
-——Meanwhile, the centrifuges spin.........
Well...... we actually don’t know that. Our knowledge is very limited.
years ago it was guessed there would be a bomb in one or maybe two years time. Apparently, that is not true
What we do know is that there have been a number of disruptions. we don’t know how severe or in some instances exactly what but there is no bomb.
Somebody has done a job on the Iranian bomb development efforts
I feel safer already. He served in Vietnam you know...
Served himself is more like it.
All we know is the US regime claims Iran doesn’t have the bomb yet.
Hard for me to believe after decades they still aren’t there yet.
the deadline will have to be extended because the Iranians haven’t quite finished building their nuclear bombs and ICBM’s to deliver them to America, etc.
they need a little more ‘protection’ time. and maybe some more money, which Obama will undoubtably supply them again...
rest assured, the Iranian IslamoNazis will complete their attack aresnal ...

Looking out my window for the mushroom cloud now.
Are you sure that Kerry didn’t land in Cambodia, like the last time XMAS 1969?
Actually it makes no difference - he’ll sell out America wherever he goes. Remember, he’s a Democrat from Massachusetts. It goes with the territory.
What a joke.
