Statement on the Extension of the Iran Talks
It is important to support the extension of the Iran talks until July 15. The sides have made tangible progress to date on a range of issues. The P5 +1 are negotiating a political agreement to be completed by March 1, with technical annexes on inspections and other issues completed by July 15. Secretary Kerry emphasized that if a political agreement is not reached by March 1, there may be a change of course.
If we can reach a deal Iran that will ensure Iran does not have nuclear weapons to threaten their neighbors—that’s worth waiting for.
