As talks between Iran and the U.S. to broker a deal on Iran’s nuclear program continue today in Vienna, Austria, Dana Perino has a request:
Remember this headline: U.S. is holding firm in Iran nuclear talks, official says (WP)
— Dana Perino (@DanaPerino) June 30, 2015
Yeah, right! Does anyone believe that the U.S. will be “holding firm”?
@DanaPerino Ha Ha Ha—

@DanaPerino Holding firm? How many years of negotiations have allowed Iran to progress?
— Ray Kauffman (@testandverify) June 30, 2015
@DanaPerino lmao!
— Z Man (@zynchin) June 30, 2015
@DanaPerino @EdMorrissey Yeah, we are firmly wishful thinkers
— J Mark Harrison (@JMarkHarrison1) June 30, 2015
@DanaPerino Damn! I read this and spit out my coffee all over the keyboard!

@DanaPerino Why not give Iran one of our warheads… Ask them to CROSS THEIR HEARTS not to use it. More realistic than demented treaty.

Shush! Don’t give John Kerry any ideas! And here’s a little history lesson:

@DanaPerino I wish I could understand how a person's legacy is more important than a nuclear weapon. Afraid it will be proven bad.

Exactly.
And although tonight at midnight is the supposed deadline for the negotiations, it looks like we’ll have to wait about a week to find out if the U.S. does hold firm as tonight isn’t real deadline after all:
A source told me: nuclear talks will be extended till July 7 #IranTalksVienna @lrozen @CameliaFard
— Rohollah Faghihi (@FaghihiRohollah) June 30, 2015
Iranian official told colleague estimated agreement earliest by monday. Americans told them they want to get it done latest by 8 july

The reports from Vienna are that Iran does seems serious about reaching an agreement, however:
#Zarif returns to #Irantalks in Vienna w/ atomic chief #Salehi, shows #Iran's seriousness for deal, says state news agency
— Barbara Plett Usher (@BBCBarbaraPlett) June 30, 2015
Glad to hear that Salehi is here for #IranTalksVienna – important technical expertise and a key validator of an #IranDeal
— Kelsey Davenport (@KelseyDav) June 30, 2015
The cavalry has arrived? Zarif returns wi/Salehi, Rouhani brother & his wife. Lavrov & Steinmeier come today. Long final push gets underway
— Laura Rozen (@lrozen) June 30, 2015
My understanding is Iran wanted some reassurances Sanctions relief in deal would be as verifiable as nuclear commitments Iran wd make
— Laura Rozen (@lrozen) June 30, 2015
Understanding is Zarif brought something on sanx relief to Iran, & in return was expected he cd return w more flexibility on nuclear issue
— Laura Rozen (@lrozen) June 30, 2015
With even Ayatollah Khamenei lending his support to the negotiators on Twitter and Facebook:
I recognize our negotiators as trustworthy, committed, brave and faithful.#IranTalks https://t.co/gj5IMikjL7 pic.twitter.com/MTCWJi41K0

Stay tuned.
