Here's the US version. Or at least, was the U.S. version. As the State Department itself admits, "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed."
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif received a select group of four independent journalists, including this correspondent, for a no-holds-barred conversation of almost an hour and a half this past Tuesday. There was a subsequent meeting on Thursday. All the previous points were touched upon, in detail.
Zarif -- although immensely tired -- exhales an almost Buddhist vibe; he even took time to appear at the balcony of the Palais Coburg in a cheerful mood ("I want to enjoy the sun"). The message, to a global audience, could not be more powerful. What about John Kerry? Is he ready to step up his game, or just remain a pale shadow of Robert Musil's The Man Without Qualities?
