With negotiations over Iran's nuclear that extend in Lausanne, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the Obama administration to present the signing of an agreement as a success of its international policy.
The White House announced that it had received no tangible commitments from Iran.
"If we find ourselves in a situation where we feel that the negotiations are blocked, then yes the United States and the international community are ready to leave the negotiations, because we have been clear, and for more than a year, the type of commitment we expect, "said Josh Earnest, spokesman for the White House.
Republicans opposed from the start to the negotiations on the Iranian nuclear accuse Obama of making too many concessions to reach an agreement at any price, and to bypass Congress.
"The Obama administration could have been much better bargain. They had, especially at the beginning, a lot of playing cards, and they made concessions to the Iranians from the start, making irreversible concessions to the Americans in exchange for temporary concessions, negotiable for the Iranians, "said Mike Doran of Hudson Institute.
"The ultimatum for a comprehensive agreement with Iran was set to late June. This gives the Obama administration a few more months to plead his case before Congress. But Republicans and many Democrats remain skeptical about the confidence that can be placed on Iran, "said Stefan Grobe, our correspondent in Washington.
