Countdown: Obama Has One Month to Strike Deal with Iran
(The Hill) Kristina Wong - President Obama is aggressively pushing for a nuclear deal with Iran before the June 30 deadline, but various hurdles slowing the negotiations' progress have raised doubts that an agreement will be made in time. Although President Obama hopes that a successful nuclear deal will be his administration's legacy, the United States faces heavy opposition to the agreement both from within and outside the country's borders. France's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius stated after meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif that France will only support a deal that allows foreign inspectors into Iranian nuclear sites. With two major details in the agreement still left unsettled, there is significant doubt that the nuclear deal will be successful.
