The United States and Iran concluded the first of two days of bilateral talks in Geneva on Sept. 4, as some analysts said prospects for reaching a nuclear deal are growing less likely amid continued impasse on the issue of the size of Iran's enrichment capacity.
“Primarily because the sides are at an impasse over the size of Iran's enrichment capacity, Eurasia Group now believes that a final deal is unlikely,” the Eurasia Group’s Cliff Kupchan wrote in an analysis for the risk consultancy Sept 4. “However, this remains a very close call and last minute agreement is possible.”
