Thankfully there is no Iranian nuclear deal yet, as the Monday deadline to create a deal has now passed and the only thing that’s been agreed on is a new deadline in March:
FOX NEWS – Nuclear negotiators have failed to meet a Monday deadline for a deal that would ease international concerns about Iran’s atomic program and are poised to extend the negotiations for a comprehensive agreement until July 2015, diplomats said.
Under the terms of limited agreements reached after a frenetic six days of talks in Vienna, a political accord is to be completed by March 1, with final details contained in annexes to be sealed by July 1, the diplomats said.
Iran, the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany had set a deadline of midnight Monday to come to a final agreement on a mechanism whereby Iran’s pathways to develop a nuclear weapon would be closed in return for relief from international sanctions.
Instead, British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said it “was not possible to meet the deadline” due to wide gaps on well-known points of contention, including levels of uranium enrichment and the number of centrifuges Iran would be allowed to operate.
He stressed that while July 1 was the new deadline for a comprehensive deal, the expectation was that broad agreement would be in place by March 1.
Netanyahu sat down with the BBC and explained that this outcome is far better than making a bad deal with Iran and emphasized how the “medievalist regime” in Iran should not be allowed to create atomic bombs:
