While CBS This Morning and ABC's Good Morning America both covered the latest problems with the Iran nuclear negotiations on Thursday, NBC's Today skipped the story altogether in favor of touting how President Obama "plays tourist" in Jamaica.

This Morning devoted a full two-minute report to the Iran deal, with co-host Norah O'Donnell explaining major obstacles to any agreement: "Iran's supreme leader this morning stopped short of giving his support to the framework deal. In remarks on his official website, the Ayatollah Khamenei said he will wait until the terms are finalized. Separately, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said this morning his country will only sign the deal if sanctions are lifted on the same day."
