National Security Adviser James Jones said on CNN's State of the Union this morning that the Obama administration won't meet its goal of closing the detention center at Guantanamo Bay during the president's first year in office.

"We won't meet the target date, unfortunately," Jones said, saying that he expected Gitmo to be closed within three to six months.

On Iran, Jones said the U.S. is "still open to negotiations" but that "the picture Iran is painting is not a good one."

"That clock's ticking," Jones said.
