Chief diplomats are interrupting their schedules to fly to Geneva today, attempting to seal an accord with Iran that would break the decade-long stalemate over the Islamic republic’s nuclear program.
Secretary of State John Kerry plans to attend talks in the Swiss city -- after a meeting today in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- in an effort to help narrow differences. He’ll be joined by the foreign ministers of France and Germany, Laurent Fabius and Guido Westerwelle, as well as U.K. Foreign Secretary William Hague. Meetings among diplomats in Geneva began early this morning with no time set for resuming full negotiations later today, EU spokesman Michael Mann told reporters.
