As you probably already know the deadline set for an initial deal with Iran has already passed, but it seems things are only getting worse. The latest is that Kerry will stay one more day to try and reach some political understanding with the Ayatollahs:
YAHOO FINANCE – US Secretary of State John Kerry will stay in negotiations with Iran and his counterparts until at least Thursday morning, as they seek to reach a deal on the Iranian nuclear programme.
“We continue to make progress, but have not reached a political understanding. Therefore, Secretary Kerry will remain in Lausanne until at least Thursday morning to continue the negotiations,” State Department acting spokeswoman Marie Harf said.
Fox Business is reporting that half of the American delegation has already left Switzerland:

Ted Cruz weighed in on the deal with Iran just a few moments ago, saying enough is enough:
“The longer the Obama Administration stays at the negotiating table with Iran, the more concessions it makes,” said Sen. Cruz. “We have recently learned Tehran is insisting on sanctions relief before IAEA inspectors are given full access to inspect potential military elements of the nuclear program; that Tehran will continue enrichment activities at military facilities; and that Tehran plans to retain its entire nuclear stockpile rather than relinquish any of it to outside countries. And now the commander of the Basij militia of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards has reportedly said that ‘erasing Israel off the map’ is ‘nonnegotiable.’ Enough is enough. The Obama Administration’s bad deal is only getting worse with time. Iran’s nuclear build-up profoundly endangers the security of America and our allies.”
