If the US doesn't look like it made an honest diplomatic effort, the rest of the world will drop sanctions against Iran. Then it doesn't matter what the US says or does -because the rest of the world will start trading with Iran. I mean the US could still drop "bunkerbuster" bombs and set Iranian nuclear production back temporarily - but that will leave us and our ally Israel isolated. This is a game of brinkmanship. Kerry is playing his part and so is Iran. China's already bought Iranian oil futures so you can forget US security council sanctions on Iran -veto power at its finest (sarcasm symbol). This is like a daytime soap playing out, except for the script is NOT what is really happening.
