Former U.S. Iran nuclear deal negotiator Wendy Sherman says a 60-day deadline for negotiations between the United States and Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program is a very limited timeframe. Speaking on ABC’s “This Week” with Martha Raddatz, Sherman described the 60-day period mentioned in a draft peace plan as “pretty short,” arguing it leaves little time to complete complex, substantive discussions.
Her comments reflect skepticism about the draft plan’s timetable, though she does not provide an alternative schedule or outline specific negotiation benchmarks in the account. The remarks come as the reported peace effort between the U.S. and Iran centers on establishing terms and mechanisms related to Iran’s nuclear activities within a defined period.
Sherman’s position is presented as a caution based on her experience negotiating with Iran, emphasizing the practical difficulties of compressing nuclear talks into a two-month window. The report centers on her assessment of the proposed timeline rather than on new details of the draft agreement’s substance.
