US Secretary of State John Kerry has said Iran backed out of a deal on its nuclear programme during talks with world powers in Geneva on Saturday.

Amid reports that France's reservations scuppered an agreement, Mr Kerry told reporters in Abu Dhabi: "The French signed off on it; we signed off on it."

Iran had been unable to accept the deal "at that particular moment", he added.

Mr Kerry said he hoped in the next few months they could "find an agreement that meets everyone's standards".

2. "at that particular moment"

Said that way, it suggests that there may well be a deal - hopefully soon.

The sad thing is that it is not clear if Obama/Kerry or AIPAC will influence Congress more. By the way, J Street is lobbying people to call Congress against the increased sanctions that - if they happened - could doom any deal - http://act.jstreet.org/sign/iran_negotiations/
