NOTHING HAS CHANGED – AT 9:23 A.M. ET:  It is announced that nuclear negotiations with Iran will resume in Switzerland next week, with the aim of having a final, detailed agreement by June 30th.  In the meantime, Iran is showing its usual intentions, as Obama averts his eyes.  From Reuters:   

(Reuters) - The U.N. nuclear watchdog said it had a "constructive exchange" with Iran this week but there was no sign of a breakthrough on aspects of its nuclear program that the agency says Tehran has failed to fully address.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is investigating Iran's nuclear program in parallel to talks between Tehran and six world powers that aim to broker a deal by the end of June to scale down the program in exchange for sanctions relief.

In any final deal, the IAEA would play a major role in monitoring Iran's compliance.

The IAEA said in March it expected progress with Iran this month on outstanding issues related to the nature of neutron calculations and alleged experiments on explosives that could be used to develop an atomic device.

It said then it expected Iran to propose new measures to address other outstanding issues with the IAEA by mid-April.

The IAEA on Thursday issued a short statement saying it had technical talks with Iranian officials in Tehran on Wednesday, making no mention of major developments.

"The two sides ... had a constructive exchange on the two practical measures under discussion," it said. "The Agency and Iran will continue this dialogue and agreed to meet again in the near future."

COMMENT:  This is a preview of things to come.  The nuclear agreement with Iran will never work, at least not as intended.  Iran will put up a facade of cooperation, its powerful lobby in Washington, in conjunction with the hard left, will applaud, and eventually Tehran will have a nuclear weapon.

By then Obama will be secretary-general of the UN and John Kerry will be a retired elder statesman, nursing his Nobel Prize.  Obama used to say that Iran would never get a nuclear bomb.  Now he's simply saying that it will never get a nuclear bomb on his watch.  Quite a comedown.

Our children will be forced to deal with this.  Quite a legacy for our generation.
