This one absurd sentence sums up the state of the Iran talks

Published April 1, 2015 12:19pm ET



The following sentence appeared in an early Wednesday Reuters update on the current state of the talks over Iran’s nuclear program:


“Negotiators have a tentative agreement on the rough outline of a possible public statement on the progress they have made so far that would also highlight areas of disagreement, diplomats close to the talks said.”

Got all that?
