A draft nuclear deal between Iran and six major powers calls for U.N. inspectors to have access to all suspect Iranian sites, including military, based on consultations between the powers and Tehran, a diplomatic source said on Tuesday.

The source also said that if the deal is agreed, a U.N. Security Council resolution on it would ideally be adopted this month and the steps to be taken by both sides – including Iranian limitations on its nuclear program and relief from sanctions on Iran – implemented in the first half of 2016.

The information from the source was preliminary and subject to change as it was based on a draft of the nuclear deal that was not the final version and that could be amended before final approval by Iran and the six powers.

Diplomats close to the talks say that they are hoping to approve a final version of the draft document as early as Tuesday. Negotiations were continuing in the early hours of Tuesday to reach an agreement, the diplomats said.

This is all still "reports" and leaks, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This would be a huge win for diplomacy if it happens.

1. I hope they can work out a good deal, we have much in common with the Iranians

in regards to national security issues if we can get past the enmity spawned by our undermining their republic in the 50s, backing of the Shah and subsequent backlash from the Iranian Revolution, and embassy hostage crisis.

Thanks for the thread, Recursion.

2. I just got an update from the CNN app that says the Iran PM hailed it as a historic deal

So it must be true.
