"They were on the phone and backchanneling with all the countries and they are getting closer. We want to make a deal. And parts of their government want to make a deal. Now the trick is to get the whole of government over there to make the deal."
"The details are complicated - you can't do that in two days. The U.S. has not formally agreed to an extension of the ceasefire. There is continued engagement between the U.S. and Iran to reach a deal."
