J Street’s Vice President of Communications Alan Elsner hosted Distinguished Fellow Jessica Mathews for a live Google Hangout to discuss the current status of the nuclear negotiations with Iran and the prospects of a final deal being signed before the June 30 deadline.

Dr. Mathews discusses the extension of the negotiations and the sticking points in the talks. The “possible military dimensions” of Iran’s nuclear program remain the biggest stumbling block to the Iran deal negotiations, according to Mathews.
