Tough talks to reach a framework deal to curtail Iran’s nuclear program may go past a midnight deadline into Wednesday, a top US official acknowledges.
Diplomats and experts are “working around the clock”, the senior State Department official says Tuesday.
“Our team is evaluating where we are throughout the day and making decisions about the best path forward,” the official adds, asking not to be named.
“We will of course keep working if we are continuing to make progress, including into tomorrow, if it’s useful to do so. At this time, no decisions have been made about our travel schedule.”
The announcement that the US team may be seeking to buy more time ahead of a Tuesday’s midnight deadline comes as diplomats reported that despite initial high hopes, progress had been slower than desired in the past nail-biting hours.

This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
