Part of the deal had been lifting economic sanctions on iran, but now late in the game theyre asking for the arms embargo to be lifted. That would allow iran to buy and sell nuclear weapons. Its something that russia has pushed for. They have a Defense System they want to sell to iran. China has agreed to a partial lifting of that arms embargo, but everyone else including the United States is against it. This could be a real Sticking Point here. Lets talk quickly about the deadline. Its supposed to be midnight tonight but thats a soft deadline. The state department has said they could continue talking if theyre making progress.
