Potentially the iranian president could attend if he wants to because the meeting is on iran. i think hes trying to manage that meeting ahead of time. the deal wont be that different. ultimately there might be some changes on the sunset clause or ballistic missiles, but the iranians are going to ask for certain things. it would be a variation of what obama already agreed to. >> if i can add something, again this is typical of the president because he just signed yesterday this agreement with sou...
