The possibility of the U.S. and five other nations reaching a nuclear deal with Iran by this week’s deadline began to fade Sunday with reports that diplomats are now discussing an extension.

Secretary of State John Kerry and the other world leaders have started internal discussions on extending the talks—one day before the Monday deadline for a deal attempting to cap Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for lifting sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

Two diplomats said Sunday that formal extension discussions have not yet started with Iran. But the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany have started talks among themselves on approaches they could present to Tehran.

At the same time, formal talks with Iran on bridging the differences are continuing. …

False hope fading again? With Iran? Wonder how many times we will get to see this replayed before Iran finally announces—or demonstrates—that it has nukes.

Iran got what it wanted. And this administration is entirely too weak to reimplement sanctions.

The “deadline” is so artificial and stupid. Besides you can’t make deals with tyrannical countries like Iran, they will never live up to any bargain.

Iran is just like Baraq.
They’ll do whatever they want until somebody forcibly stops them.

The civilized world is depending on Israel on this.Obola refuses to act (having a soft spot for the Religion of Pieces) and Europe is unable to act.Let's see if Israel has the courage to do what needs to be done.They clearly have the *ability* to do so.

The ball is in Bibi's court. I feel sorry for him as he can't discuss hitting Iran with Obama as Jarrett will tell Iran. So after Iran gets their nuke, then what? See you in New York? Is that what it's going to take to wake the country up?

Dems = weakened military and appeasement foreign policy. Thanks Obama voters.

Yup, extended until they have nukes. And then Bozo the Kerry will say at least we gave diplomacy a chance.

[nascarnation]

I expect Iran to throw the first punch and get flattened by the second.

[Art in Idaho]

That may happen, but both would be preventable if we had a Reagan.

could we just speed up the process and give you some of our nukes?

[wally_bert]

It wouldn’t surprise me if there was a behind the scenes plan to do just that. A little accounting trickery with a “decommissioned” device or two or three or more. We won’t need them will never use them anyway.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Israel knows what it has to do. It will not do anything for Irans moozlum neighbors-smart.
