Negotiators are focused on the June 30 deadline for reaching a final Iran nuclear deal, but it is more important to get the details right and a good agreement, a senior US official said June 10, as some former US officials and experts suggested negotiations are likely to go into overtime, as each side waits to see if the other will make concessions as the deadline looms.
“Everyone in the room is focused on June 30,” the senior US administration official, speaking not for attribution to discuss the talks between six world powers and Iran, told a small group of reporters in a call June 10. “It doesn’t help any of us to delay difficult decisions. They get harder over time.”
