> CNN estimates that the United States and Iran have a 50% chance of reaching a deal by Friday. A source said Iran’s delegation does not include representatives of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The elite military force would need to sign off on the details of any potential peace agreement. Its absence from the delegation is therefore a notable element in the negotiations.
