Iran accused of dragging out US talks to gain leverage ahead of midterms

Political Analyst Joe Siracusa claims Iran is strategically dragging out negotiations with the US to maximise leverage ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

“They [Iran] can see the Americans don’t want too much to do with that neck of the woods, that is, the President’s supporters,” Mr Siracusa told Sky News Australia.

“These guys have all the signs in the world that they can hang out. The trouble is how long can they hang out before they implode?”
