Reuters (Mohammid & Irish) updates the talks: "Many of the issues related to sanctions have
been resolved, and there are four or five issues that remain including
the important topic of ensuring both sides' steps correspond to each
other and happen at the same time," Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister
Abbas Araqchi was quoted as saying by the ISNA agency." It continues: "But the six powers had yet to agree with Iran on a United Nations
Security Council resolution that would lift U.N. sanctions and establish
a means of re-imposing them in case of Iranian non-compliance with a
future agreement." The sides have extended the self-imposed deadline to get a deal to Tuesday.
Meanwhile, if talks fail, the LA Times (Hennigan) reports the U.S. is stockpiling the powerful 15 ton bunker-busting bombs..."Obama has made it clear that he has no desire to order an attack,
warning that U.S. airstrikes on Iran's air defense network and nuclear
facilities would spark a destabilizing new war in the Middle East, and
would only delay Iran by several years should it choose to build a bomb."
