As our team was working away assessing the latest on the talks, we have been amazed by the onslaught of public comments from former officials on how the deal is such a bad deal. This was epitomized by this as noted by the +Washington Post last week:

Ex-Obama aides: U.S. needs tougher Iran nucle
As if the domestic pressures were not enough, Ayatollah Khameini made a pivotal speech that drew headlines for its supposed redlines which was picked up by the likes of the +Huffington Post Politics and underscored by this from IRNA, the Official Iranian News Agency as noted below: http://www.irna.com/fa/News/
What has been interesting is again the public stance by Senior Officials yet again to dampen expectations. What was also quite interesting was the deferement by the Majlis inTehran not to refer the law they passed simliar to the Coker Bill. As the Foreign Minister is in Tehran on consultations, this story also appeared on Al Monitor:

The signifcance of this analysis cannot be emphasized enough. It shows that Khameini has prepared the establishment as the world has already been told that the June 30 deadline will slip as the teams continue their negotations. Someone noted that this deal is too big to be allowed to fail. Our team agrees especially as one estimate reflects that 120 Billion Dollars will be freed up from the proceeds of Iranian Oil alone.
Israel, though, is hard at work. Though. Today was the turn of the Defense Minister who said Iran was part of the problem and not the solution. What was striking was his claim that there was no humanitiran crisis in Gaza and as Israel is mulling withdrawing from the Human Rights Council as the United Nations came out with a very tough report.
One measure of a commitment that amazed our team was the presence of Secretary Kerry. Despite being on crutches, he is on the job. Our team is remaining hopeful desapite all the odds to achieve the impossible. Our team reflected upon Madiba's admonition that it alwasy seems impossible until it is done. It is ever true now.....
