Status of the Iran-EU nuclear talks

Doesn't look so good at the moment. As mentioned below/earlier, the deadlines are coming up quickly. The Israelis have talked about a mid-November deadline and the IAEA report comes out in two weeks. With Bush re-elected, Arafat about to leave the stage, and the US back on the offensive in Iraq, I could picture an Israeli air-strike in a couple of weeks. With the big questions of what the retaliation would be and whether there's good enough intelligence information on the Iranian nuclear locations holding it back.
