Negotiators at the Iran nuclear talks plan to announce Monday that they've reached a historic deal capping nearly a decade of diplomacy that would curb the country's atomic program in return for sanctions relief, two diplomats told The Associated Press on Sunday.

The envoys said a provisional agreement may be reached even earlier — by late Sunday. But they cautioned that final details of the pact were still being worked out and a formal agreement must still be reviewed by leaders in the capitals of Iran and the six world powers at the talks.

Senior U.S. and Iranian officials suggested, however, there was not enough time to reach a provisional deal by the end of Sunday.

All of the officials, who are at the talks, demanded anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the negotiations publicly.

"We are working hard, but a deal tonight is simply logistically impossible," the Iranian official said, noting that the agreement will run roughly 100 pages.

The senior U.S. official declined to speculate as to the timing of any agreement or announcement, saying "major issues remain to be resolved."

Despite the caution, the negotiators appeared to be on the cusp of an agreement.

Iran will get the better of the deal initially, and then will improve its advantages by cheating later.

That is my optimistic prediction. Reality will likely be much worse.

Persians have been outsmarting negotiating partners, and out-generaling military opponents for just about 3000 years. I don't expect that we have gotten the better of any deal that results.

SP5 (Join to see), and our left wing has been consistently outsmarted by dictators as often as they have been in power. I don't see any reason that either trend will be broken here.

Sgt Richard Buckner I have been greatly disappointed to see the extent to which PC has infected the military.

The military can be PC or it can be effective; never both.

The longer this has gone on the better it has been for Iran. They know it and we know it. They know Obama wants a deal so he can claim victory, kick the can down the road and talk about legacy. We all know Iran is not backing down and will NEVER allow meaningful inspections and is moving toward a bomb, period. Anyone that thinks Iran will give up nuclear ambition is as lost as our negotiation team in Vienna.
