That is Iran's march to nuclear weapons, and Obama's foolish complicity. His claim at the State of the Union that "we've halted the progress of its nuclear program and reduced its stockpile of nuclear material" would be laughable if it weren't so dangerous. The claim earned him three Pinocchios, with four being an outright whopper, by The Washington Post.
Outside the president's yes-men circle, nobody believes the mad mullahs will voluntarily give up their quest for the bomb. International sanctions made life difficult for the regime, especially with oil prices cratering, but Obama relaxed restrictions with nothing to show for it except negotiations where he keeps bidding against himself.
He is desperate for a deal, and the Iranians know it, so they want to keep talking. They are gaining concessions and buying time, which means a reversal of their weapons program becomes much harder to achieve.
The ticking doomsday clock is what led to the remarkable comments by Democrat Robert Menendez. After Obama warned that more sanctions, even if they would not take effect unless the talks collapsed, could scare off the Iranians, the New Jersey senator said Obama was repeating talking points that "come straight out of Tehran."
