The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 1, 2015

Negotiators extended the deadline for the Iran nuclear talks until today. David Sanger, chief Washington correspondent for The New York Times and Gary Sick, senior research scholar at Columbia University's Middle East Institute and adjunct professor at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, discuss the latest on the talks.

Gary Sick: During the hostage crisis, Iran wanted something simple though vague + were willing to accept concessions deep in the agreement.

Americans want real specifics in this deal, but Iranians want "almost no specifics," says @SangerNYT.

.@SangerNYT describes the Iranians who are negotiating - they're US-educated, can "talk America," but in Tehran, they're "too Americanized."
