New York Times : Despite yesterday’s deadline, no final agreement has been reached concerning Iran’s nuclear program. Leaders from the P5 + 1 nations (China, France, Russia, the UK, and the US, plus Germany) met with Iranian officials in Vienna to try to resolve the yearlong effort to get Iran to dismantle parts of its nuclear infrastructure and cut the number of centrifuges. Although the meeting ended with no breakthrough compromise, the US and its allies have decided to extend the deadline by seven months. US secretary of state John Kerry and Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who have met several times and developed a strong working relationship, both expressed optimism that the talks had made “real and substantial progress” and that a solution may well be found in the next few months.
