P5+1 powers and Iran agree to nuclear ‘framework’

There is one certainty that you can take to the bank: regardless of whatever the P5+1 world powers and Iran agree to, Neocon Tea-Publicans will reject it in knee-jerk opposition, because they have invested years in preparing for their Neocon war against Iran.

Participants in the talks said the sides, including the United States and its key European allies, would promptly start drafting a final accord to be completed by a June 30 deadline.
