Iran Nuclear Deal Reached?


From AP:
Negotiators at the Iran nuclear talks plan to announce Monday that they've reached a historic deal capping nearly a decade of diplomacy that would curb the country's atomic program in return for sanctions relief, two diplomats told The Associated Press on Sunday.
The envoys said a provisional agreement may be reached even earlier — by late Sunday. But they cautioned that final details of the pact were still being worked out. Once it is complete, a formal, final agreement would be open to review by officials in the capitals of Iran and the six world powers at the talks, they said.
To nobody's surprise, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi "Bomb Bomb" Netanyahu (R-Tel Aviv) is already saying the world powers negotiating with Iran have "caved," since to Netanyahu anything short of war with Iran (fought by those same world powers on behalf of Israel) would be "caving." Expect to see the same formulation in Republican talking points if an agreement is indeed announced.
