US now indicates Iran interim deal wasn’t quite finalized ‘Technical details’ have yet to be worked out, State Department says, meaning six-month countdown to permanent deal hasn’t started and Iran isn’t bound by any new terms
Iran is currently enjoying a “window” of time before the six-month deal signed in Geneva early Sunday goes into effect, during which it is not bound to take any credible steps toward disabling its ability to produce a nuclear weapon, the State Department acknowledged Tuesday.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that the six-month interim period, during which Iran would take steps to rein in its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, has not yet begun. Furthermore, there are still a number of details to be worked out, she said, without specifying what points had yet to be finalized.
Her comments created confusion as to whether the much-touted interim deal, supposedly reached by P5+1 powers and Iran in Geneva in the early hours of Sunday morning, had actually been completed as claimed. Iran on Tuesday accused the US of publishing an inaccurate account of what had been agreed. And its Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said in an address to the Iranian parliament Wednesday that Iran would continue construction on the Arak heavy water plant, in an apparent breach of the ostensibly agreed terms.
“The next step here is a continuation of technical discussions at a working level so that we can essentially tee up the implementation of the agreement,” Psaki told reporters Tuesday. “Obviously, once that’s — those technical discussions are worked through, I guess the clock would start. Obviously, there’ll also be a reconvening of the political track with the P5+1, which Under Secretary Sherman will continue to be our lead negotiator on.”

A child has better common sense than these people.
They put the Iran deal on Obamacare.
So when Iran said the White House was lying...they were correct?
Kind of like Obama announcing that he’d capped the Deepwater Horizon well.
Obama, “Hold on Jen we’re approaching Ludicrous Speed”.
Yes. Give me that hair, cut away the evil inside and we’re good.
If you like your Nukes, you can keep your Nukes.
Fools...
Continuing foreign policy brilliance by Clown Prince nobama and his idiot boy-Kerry. Why are they so intelligent and the rest of us so beneath their obvious greatness?
So obamma’s 2nd Nobel Peace prize is on hold?
‘Technical details’ have yet to be worked out, State Department says, meaning six-month countdown to permanent deal hasn’t started and Iran isn’t bound by any new termsor any old ones. Thanks sunmars.
But, we already released $8 billion in frozen assets for them.
I thought of “the googly eyed bride” when I say that picture.

No! Obama lied to us! LOL
She could be the googly eyed brides sister.

I was referring to us. We were fools to believe him. :)
Oh good. Maybe Laz can pick her up on the cheap. Gotta work out better than the diaper-astronaut.
“US now indicates Iran interim deal wasn’t quite finalized ‘Technical details’ have yet to be worked out, State Department says, meaning six-month countdown to permanent deal hasn’t started and Iran isn’t bound by any new terms “
So basically it was another photo op for the bullshit artist in chief.
Obama pattern:
Know what you WANT to happen.
Announce that it is finished and all is well.
Wait for the poop to hit the fan when people find out you are lying.
Then blame the Republicans. They forced you to lie.
Go golfing and let Carney try to explain it.
