Background
Signs point to no. But that doesn’t mean the negotiations are failing.
The most recent round of nuclear talks in Vienna between Iran and six major world powers was a sticker-shock moment. For the first time, negotiators presented Iran with the specific bill of nuclear concessions it would have to make in exchange for comprehensive sanctions relief. Despite all the happy talk about a nuclear deal being imminent—much of it encouraged by Iran to lure Western companies to sign contracts ahead of the scramble to resume business if sanctions are lifted—the U.S. team was well aware of the tough bargaining ahead and cautioned against excessive optimism. However, from my discussions with officials involved in the negotiations, they entered this critical phase of the talks confident of their strong bargaining position.
