Iran Nuclear Talks Extended Again
BERMAN: All right. This morning, the deadline to reach a final nuclear deal with Iran has been extended yet again. This time, there's no real firm end date at all. Secretary of State John Kerry is warning the U.S. would walk away from the negotiating table if Iran does not make the tough decisions needed for a final agreement.</s>JOHN KERRY, SECRETARY OF STATE: And the simple fact is, that despite all of the progress that we have made and it's real, some of the tough issues remain unresolved.</s>BERMAN: CNN's Nic Robertson is live in Vienna with the latest. You know, Nic, a lot of people thought there would be a big announcement today -- deal reached. Where do things stand now?</s>NIC ROBERTSON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I don't think we will get that announcement today. All bets are off. Certainly, that's been the rollercoaster nature of the talks so far. What is happening specifically this minute, Secretary Kerry meeting with his Iranian counterpart, the foreign minister, along with the E.U. foreign policy chief. They have been in the meeting for about an hour. It's the first meeting of the day. Secretary Kerry late yesterday saying very clearly he is willing to walk away, not saying when that is. E.U. foreign policy chief, about 15 hours ago now, said the amount of time before they walk away would be a matter of hours. Now, did she actually mean 24 or 48 hours, what we call a couple of days? Or did she mean hours? It is just not clear. But what is clear is that both sides are very deeply entrenched in their position. We heard from Secretary Kerry saying the Iranians need to make the tough choices. I went to a briefing by a senior Iranian official last night who said the mirror of that, that is U.S. that needs to make those key decisions right now, the trust deficit is growing, that the U.S. he said is moving the goal posts on this agreement. So, you get the sense as we stand outside the meetings here. The public positions are that they are still apart. We heard this for months, that the key tough decisions have to be made. Yet, here we are and the senior Iranian official said we are in the 13th hour of talks, way past the sort of 11th or 10th hour, if you will. Those entrenched positions still publicly appear to exist, John.</s>BERMAN: And the 11th hour was a long, long time ago at this point, Nic. And the acrimony seems to be on the uptick at least overnight. Nic Robertson for us in Vienna, thanks so much. All right. Jeb Bush says Americans should work more. We'll give you the facts behind the statement which is pretty controversial. That's coming up next.
