A senior U.S. official told AP that with the Monday evening cutoff date a little more than a day away, Secretary of State John Kerry proposed to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif that the two sides start discussing post-deadline talks.

At the same time, two Western diplomats said, negotiations were continuing with Iran on trying to bridge differences on reducing Tehran's ability to make nuclear weapons to levels acceptable to Washington while giving the Islamic republic the relief it seeks from international sanctions over its atomic activities.

All three officials demanded anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the diplomatic twists and turns of talks that have been under a blanket of confidentiality since the sides started negotiating a comprehensive nuclear deal eight months ago.

The U.S. official said a number of options were under discussion.

"An extension is one of those options," the official said. "It should come as no surprise that we will also engage in a discussion of the options with the Iranians at some point as well."

Israel needs aircraft carriers to get close enough to strike. Either that or a nearby air strip. Obama and Lurch will see that we get neither.

Wrong.

By the time Kerry and Obama are finished they will have agreed to give Iran all of our nuclear weapons and technology in the interest of fairness and because of all the atrocities the US has perpetrated in Vietnam and around the world.

When negotiating a deal, if you aren’t prepared to
walk away, prepare to get taken.

I think that rice grain in Kerry’s butt has worked
it’s way to his brain.

“Hey, Iran, how about an extension on talks - until after you’ve nuked Israel and started World War III in the Middle East.”
-John Kerry

Maybe. That looks like the only option we’ll have, and it’s probably not a very good one.

They’ll sing one of those arrhythmic, atonal Iranian songs, and he’ll hum along.

I suspect but cannot prove that Iran has tested its bomb making ability in North Korea a couple of years ago and they are now working on an inventory of bombs now. One bomb isn’t worth much when attacking Israel.

As I understand, the last two tests were low yield but successful.

hmmm....

More Time....

Doesn’t seem to put Iran at any disadvantage now, does it?

I’m pretty sure Obama is fine with Iran having nukes.
