The ceremonial end of the last round of talks between the West and Iran in Vienna finally brought many observers to the conclusion they have been beating a dead horse; US diplomats made it clear they no longer believe a deal with Iran is possible or realistic, yet it does not seem that the administration can offer anything more.
