US Warns Only ‘a Few Weeks Left’ to Save Iran Nuclear Deal
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned that there are only "a few weeks left" to return to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and world powers before Tehran's nuclear advancements become too difficult to reverse.
"We have, I think, a few weeks left to see if we can get back to mutual compliance. That would be the best result for America's security," he told US public radio station NPR, speaking amid the latest round of negotiations in Vienna between Tehran and the other signatories of the nuclear accord.
However, Washington's top diplomat stressed that "we're very, very short on time" because "Iran is getting closer and closer to the point where they could produce on very, very short order enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon".
