Iranian nuclear negotiators face further criticism
Parliament's hard-liners appear to have an excuse now to sabotage the talks, which have so far resulted in an unprecedented interim agreement reached in November 2013 but extending the final deadline twice — in July and in November 2014 — in an effort to hammer out a permanent deal, which could limit Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.
