Iranian Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his counterparts from 5 + 1, the American John Kerry, Chinese Wang Yi, the French Laurent Fabius, Briton Philip Hammond, the Russian Sergei Lavrov and German Frank-Walter Steinmeier were locked in a room of Coburg, a Viennese palace for a few days became the epicenter of world diplomacy, at a time when a Western source has finally admitted that a political settlement was reached. The great powers required Iran to reduce its nuclear capabilities, to exclude all military opportunity. Tehran, which maintains that its nuclear program is strictly peaceful, claims its right to full civil nuclear energy and calls for the lifting of economic sanctions asphyxiate. Seven days of uninterrupted talks have failed to reconcile the positions of uranium enrichment by Iran and Western sanctions against Tehran, the two key points of a political settlement.
The deadline to negotiate runs until midnight. But each party had during the weekend indicated that an extension of the discussions could be inevitable. "Due to technical difficulties, it is possible that we need more time," the last recognized Wang Yi on his arrival in the Austrian capital on Monday morning. John Kerry and Mohammad Javad Zarif, who had Monday morning their seventh head to head since Thursday, have already addressed all the different scenarios on how best to continue the negotiations. The duration of an extension is unknown, although an Iranian source spoke of "six months or a year." Such an option would however be very difficult politically to the moderate Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and his US counterpart Barack Obama, both struggling with what the analyst Kelsey Davenport called "hard that both Washington and Tehran, want to sabotage the Agreement ".
