Still no good.  On break, the else isn't executed.

How about...

        itr = iter(EXPR1)
        arg = None
        while True:
            try:
                VAR1 = next(itr, arg)
            except StopIteration:
                BLOCK2
                break
            arg = None
            BLOCK1
