US would leave Iran talks before deadline if unable to reach deal
US negotiators will walk away from the nuclear talks with Iran if they fail to achieve an interim framework agreement promised for later on Tuesday, the White House said on Tuesday.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the United States was willing to extend its deadline to reach that interim agreement, if the talks remained productive. But Earnest said: "If we're not able to reach a political agreement, then we're not going to wait ... until June 30 to walk away."
