WASHINGTON -- US President Barack Obama cast doubt on whether negotiators in Vienna will succeed in clinching a comprehensive agreement with Iran over its nuclear program in a television interview aired on Sunday. Praising Iran's performance under the eight-month old interim agreement, the Joint Plan of Action, which froze the crisis between Iran and world powers, Obama said the US seeks a 'verifiable,' lock-tight' deal that makes sure 'they don't get a nuclear weapon.' US Secretary of State John Kerry met with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Muscat, Oman for those negotiations on Sunday, working toward a deadline terminating talks on November 24. 'We've now had significant negotiations,' Obama said. 'The question now is whether we're going to be able to close this final gap.'
