Endgame for Iran nuclear talks
As the Nov. 24 deadline approaches, Iranian and US nuclear negotiators are preparing for the final push.
US and Iranian negotiators are preparing to enter the intense endgame in the Iran nuclear deal talks, amid mixed assessments of prospects for completing the deal by the self-imposed Nov. 24 deadline, just under a month away.
“This is the time to finish the job,” lead US negotiator Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman told the Maxwell School of Public Affairs on Oct. 23 in rare public remarks about the sensitive Iran nuclear negotiations.
“If Iran truly wants to resolve its differences with the international community and facilitate the lifting of economic sanctions, it will have no better chance than between now and Nov. 24,” Sherman said. “Will that happen? I don’t know. I can tell you that all the components of a plan that should be acceptable to both sides are on the table.”
Iran’s nuclear negotiating team, led by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, on Oct. 27 made a rare visit to Iran’s two enrichment facilities at Natanz and Fordo.
