The
latest round of talks between Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign
Minister Javad Zarif resumes on Friday in Lausanne. Other foreign ministers could also
join the talks on Saturday. The two sides have imposed a 31 March deadline to
reach a political framework agreement.
Iran’s
main demand at the talks remains the immediate and full lifting of all
sanctions upon reaching an agreement. It seems increasingly unlikely that the
West would accept that demand in the five days left to the deadline. But if a framework
deal could not be reached by end of March, the two sides could still continue
their negotiations if they thought they could eventually find their way to a final
agreement.

ReplyDeleteimmediate lifting of all sanctions was never going to be done in any circumstance short of immediate regime change in Iran.
why would you even print such claptrap knowing it to be out of the question?
