US-Iran nuclear deal before mid-June?
Rules
After four rounds of "difficult" nuclear talks in Oman and Iran's recent declaration that uranium enrichment for civilian purposes is "non-negotiable," tensions remain high between the US and Iran. With more diplomatic discussions scheduled, will the two nations reach a nuclear deal by mid-June?
