@almostjingo @drawandstrike @SecStudiesGrp @CarrollQuigley1 @GeorgWebb @eyad1949 @EmadAlmudaifer @HNIJohnMiller @rising_serpent @cvpayne Desperate to maintain the JCPOA alive, Rouhani says the Europeans are again provided another two months to keep the nuclear deal intact.

Iran "will announce third step that has an extremely important backbone & will accelerate the activities of Iran's Atomic Energy Org."

@almostjingo @drawandstrike @SecStudiesGrp @CarrollQuigley1 @GeorgWebb @eyad1949 @EmadAlmudaifer @HNIJohnMiller @rising_serpent @cvpayne Rouhani:
Details of the third step in reducing #Iran's nuclear commitments will be announced today or tomorrow... Despite resolving most of our differences, we have not reached a final agreement... We will take the third step.

@almostjingo @drawandstrike @SecStudiesGrp @CarrollQuigley1 @GeorgWebb @eyad1949 @EmadAlmudaifer @HNIJohnMiller @rising_serpent @cvpayne #Iran gov spox:
We don't see a prospect for [the French] getting [US] consent by Friday. If they can't, we'll take 3rd step in JCPOA commitment reductions.

My take:
1-The Macron appeasement initiative to provide $15bn for Tehran to abide by its own commitments is dead.
2-Good.
