US negotiator: Some want talks with Iran to fail

America's chief nuclear negotiator believes that some US allies and members of Congress do not want diplomacy with Iran to succeed. The undersecretary of state for political affairs, Wendy Sherman, concedes the nuclear talks are controversial. She says some fear they will collapse while others fear they will succeed.

 

Speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Sherman says the administration has sought to allay fears in Congress and among allies including Israel and the Gulf states. She says the conversations reinforce her government's conviction that diplomacy is worth the risk.
