NEW YORK – President Obama’s celebration of a “framework agreement” in a Rose Garden statement and Secretary of State John Kerry’s declaration of victory in Lausanne, Switzerland, overlooked the fact that two days after the deadline, the administration still had not reached a final deal in an attempt to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

What the United States – in the “P5+1” coalition with the United Kingdom, China, France, Russia and Germany – accomplished in marathon negotiations with Iran that stretched over a year was an agreement to agree to a final nuclear deal sometime between now and June 30.

In the meantime, the Washington Free Beacon reported, the Western powers have agreed to allow Iran to continue operating the core aspects of its nuclear program and terminate all sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

Kerry’s Iranian counterpart, Javad Zarif, boasted: “We will continue enriching (uranium); we will continue research and development.”

In a statement jointly issued by the White House and the State Department that outlined the “parameters” of a final nuke deal, the Obama administration admitted, “Important implementation details are still subject to negotiation, and nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.”

Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz told CNN, however, that those “celebrating in Lausanne are disconnected from reality, one in which Iran has refused to make concessions on the nuclear issue and continues to threaten Israel and all other countries in the Middle East.”
