US prepares for ‘staggeringly consequential’ Iran deal

The deal at hand with Iran over its nuclear program will be a single, comprehensive text, annexes and all, in English and in Farsi, with “staggeringly consequential” effects on the security of the world, a senior US official said on Monday.

 

Entering a self-imposed deadline for that text, scheduled for Tuesday, the work of negotiators remained incomplete. Political decisions from all sides await. Lawyers still have to review the document once its finished.

 

But the American team hopes to adopt a final text within days – formally achieving agreement on a Comprehensive Joint Plan of Action.

 

The United States, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany say the CJPOA will adequately restrict Iran’s ability to obtain nuclear weapons.

 

The negotiations are in their final round here in the Austrian capital, where the foreign ministers of each nation are to arrive on Tuesday.
