They're also going to interpret "Iran not going nuclear" in the most flexible way possible.

July 7, 2015

Don't worry. That's only the first of many things involving the Iran deal that will be flexibly interpreted. Meanwhile Iran has gotten gold and sanctions relief.

But as I've shown before, Iran deadlines are worth about as much as any Obama line. These are the deadlines that never end for the endless Iran talks.

Here's July 2014.

Diplomats have agreed a four-month extension to the deadline for an agreement between Iran and world powers on Iran's nuclear programme.

Reuters reports that negotiations will now resume in September, with a final deadline set for 24 November.
So how final was that November 2014 deadline?
A deadline for resolving a 12-year-old dispute over Iran's nuclear program may be extended from Monday until March because of sharp disagreements between Tehran and world powers, officials close to the talks said on Thursday.
How final was March?
Six world powers and Iran negotiated past a March 31 deadline into the wee hours of Wednesday, struggling to conclude an outline accord on Tehran's nuclear program in the face of a U.S. threat to abandon the talks.
"We've made enough progress in the last days to merit staying until Wednesday," acting spokeswoman Marie Harf said in a statement. "There are several difficult issues still remaining."‎

Just Wednesday. Come on guys. How big of a deal can that be? Or you know, June 30.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in Washington that U.S. negotiators would not wait until June 30 to walk away from the talks if they could not reach a preliminary political agreement.
"If we're not able to reach a political agreement, then we're not going to wait ... until June 30 to walk away," he said.

And now it's a flexible interpretation of July 7th.

Nuclear talks between Iran and six major powers were set to pass yet another deadline on Tuesday as the two sides struggled to resolve a handful of the thorniest issues.
“We are continuing to negotiate for the next couple of days. That does not mean we are extending our deadlines,” she said, adding that “we are interpreting” the July 7 end-date “in a flexible way.”

They're also going to interpret "Iran not going nuclear" in the most flexible way possible.
Each time it's the same song and dance. The State Department tells us how much progress has been made. And it's only a few days. Then only a few months. And then only a few years. And the Mullahs laugh like hyenas at the Obama negotiators they're using as chew toys.
