The P5+1 proposal to remove a trivial amount of sanctions against Iran in return for the Iranian government mothballing much of its civilian nuclear program has been met by a counter-proposal today, with Iran pushing a broader, long-term deal.
Iran had been reluctant to accept the deal, fearing that they would have no bargaining chips to ever see the bulk of the sanctions removed, and is now pushing the initial pact as the start of a broad series of measures on both sides envisioning a final settlement.
P5+1 officials are reportedly “puzzled” by the proposal to actually settle the matter, as opposed to setting the stage for years of additional meetings and threats. They also seem likely to shoot down the proposal, saying there is a “wide gulf” between Iran’s vision and theirs.
Iranian officials say their proposal is important in that it seeks “specific plans” and a practical solution for the long-term dispute. They also say they want a deal wherein the Western nations in the P5+1, particularly the US, formally recognize their right to a civilian nuclear program.
Of Course P5+1 would be irked and puzzled by Irans proposal!!!
The Western Nations have NO intention of ever making a FAIR and RESONABLE offer to settle this matter with HONOUR.
They LIE and CHEAT and spread DECEPTION to achieve their dishonourable ends starving innocent people and committing genocide against the Iranian Nation
Andron, you are sooo truuuueee about THESE LIERS, CHEATERS AND SHAMELESS DECEPTERS, i.e., P5+1. They only Obey/Prostrate to their BOSS SHARON HITLER NETANYAHU, and will destroy U.S.A. for their BOSS.
Nothing new here…every time Iran starts to agree to meet the demands, they are denied and the goalposts are moved. The US(Israel) does not want an end to the distress. They are interested only in regime change – and not Ahmadinejad – they want a change at the very top, the removal of the Supreme Leader and the Council of Guardians who are all clerics and unelected. The old men in the US Congress are still pissed at the religious fanatics who held the Embassy in 1979.
Where's the rub?
Iran can propose what it may, but Obama will rather eat live frogs than letting Iran off the hook.
This is not about "sanctioning" Iran over it's alledged "nukes" anymore – it's about blackmailing them into obedience. The "Iran-Nuke"-standoff is only a convenient means to harass the iranian people as much as possible.
Disgusting, i say. Truly disgusting.
What's going on is just as mogamboguru states above, excepting that he left out that the US/Israel is trying to maneuver/provoke Iran into doing ***something*** that the US/Israel can use as an excuse for a military attack. The Iranians understand this perfectly, and they have consistently demonstrated mastery in refusing to take the bait. The continuing "talks" are part of this Kabuki, and it's my impression that the Iranians have so far been the better players in the game. Of course, they're highly motivated to avoid any military confrontation.
