If tomorrow's deadline for the Iranian "deal" is not met, it will be the 4th time in 15 months of negotiations that the talks have failed.

Iran backs away from key detail in nuclear deal . . . With a negotiating deadline just two days away, Iranian officials on Sunday backed away from a critical element of a proposed nuclear agreement, saying they are no longer willing to ship their atomic fuel out of the country. For months, Iran tentatively agreed that it would send a large portion of its stockpile of uranium to Russia, where it would not be accessible for use in any future weapons program. But on Sunday Iran’s deputy foreign minister made a surprise comment to Iranian reporters, ruling out an agreement that involved giving up a stockpile that Iran has spent years and billions of dollars to amass.

Netanyahu: Deal worse than feared . . . "This deal, as it appears to be emerging, bears out all of our fears, and even more than that," Netanyahu told his cabinet in Jerusalem.   (comments posted,  here at Midknight Review,  earlier last week out of the Times of Israel) 
Iranian defector: U.S. working "on behalf" of Iran . . . An Iranian journalist and top media aide to Iran's President Hassan Rouhani defected while covering the nuclear talks in Switzerland and has accused the United States' team of acting on Iran's behalf in the negotiations. (Posted here at Midknight Review this past week). 
If there's no deal, "The sanctions are going to come, and they're going to come quick," Speaker Boehner said on CNN.
