Iran Negotiators Face Late Obstacles to a Deal
(New York Times) David E. Sanger and Michael R. Gordon - The U.S. and Iran are confronting serious last-minute obstacles in the nuclear talks, including when UN sanctions would be lifted and how inspections would be conducted, American and European officials said. Tehran demands that all UN sanctions be suspended as soon as there is a deal, while Washington insists that international inspectors be able to promptly visit any nuclear site, even those on Iranian military bases. There are also disagreements over Iran's research and development of advanced centrifuges, as well as over how many years an agreement would last.
