Obama Admin Confident on Iran Nuclear Deal Before Deadline 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
The Obama administration has indicated it expects to reach a nuclear
agreement with Iran before next week's deadline. Differences remain over
the pace for ending U.N. sanctions, caps on centrifuges, and how long
the deal would last. But according to The New York Times, a senior State
Department official gave the administration's most hopeful prognosis to
date, saying: "we very much believe we can get this done," in time.
Ahead of a new round of talks in Switzerland, Secretary of State John
Kerry said critics have offered no viable alternative.

Secretary of State John Kerry: "Anybody standing up in opposition to
this has an obligation to stand up and put a viable, realistic
alternative on the table, and I have yet to see anybody do that. So,
we'll see where we go."
