01[11:59] {@Threei}  The Iran nuclear talks continue down to the wire this morning. Press reports suggest that Iran's negotiators tried to back away from making commitments to ship their atomic fuel out of the country, although US officials said the issue would not derail talks, although there were separate reports that Russia Foreign Minister Lavrov left the negotiations. Later reports suggest the talks are still doing well, but there is little in the way of hard news on the issue out this morning.
