Iran nuclear talks extension: Not ideal, but not defeat

Commentary feature.

As the Iranian nuclear talks entered their last day on the 24 November 2014, no side shifted on their 'non-negotiables' to allow for a final deal – but substantive progress had been made to convince all sides that an extension of their self-imposed deadline was desirable. The talks in Vienna closed with Iran and the EU3+3 (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Russia, China, and the United States) announcing that they had agreed to continue negotiating for another seven months, with the intention of agreeing to the political framework of the final deal before then.
