Iran nuclear deal: historic agreement in Vienna – live updates
Agreement to end 12-year standoff over Iran’s nuclear programme expected to be unveiled imminently in Vienna. Follow the latest developments live
Updated
As the Monday evening target came and went, Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, appeared on the balcony of the Palais Coburg hotel in Vienna hotel, the venue for the talks, and faced shouted questions from the journalists in the street below.
Asked how he was feeling, Zarif replied: “Sleepy and overworked.” Asked if there would be a deal on Tuesday, he said: “It is possible.”
Once an agreement is announced, it will not take effect for some time: it must first survive a trial by fire from its critics in Washington and Tehran.
The greatest hurdle will be the US Congress, where Republicans have a majority and are expected to vote against the deal after a review period of up to 60 days. They will seek to win over 12 Democrats in an attempt to defeat a presidential veto.
The Balcony Scene
Romeo, Romeo
wherefore art THOU Romeo?
Why didn't everyone just stay home-e- Oh!
Why did America think it could ever negotiate
with those who have its destruction on their plate?
To Shakespeare long ago,
using Montagues and Capulets
in his memorable show,
such thinking only led to tragic bets.
