CNN: Blinken warns talks with Iran can't go on indefinitely
(CNN)US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Thursday that negotiations with Tehran over the Iran nuclear deal "cannot and will not go on indefinitely."
"We are committed to diplomacy, but this process cannot go on indefinitely," Blinken said at a press conference in Kuwait.
Referring to the deal by its formal name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the top US diplomat warned that time is running out to save the gains made by the 2015 agreement that offered Iran relief from sanctions and greater economic engagement in exchange for constraints on its nuclear program.
"At some point, the gains achieved by the JCPOA, cannot be fully recovered by a return to the JCPOA if Iran continues the activities that it's undertaken with regard to its nuclear program activities, that, of course, are breaking ... through the constraints imposed by the JCPOA," Blinken said.
