The first day of a two-day Geneva nuclear conference between Iran and the P5+1 opened today with high hopes and a “very detailed” hour-long presentation of Iran’s new proposal for a final settlement of the issue.
Details of the proposal remain unclear, as the nations have agreed to keep the details of the talks “confidential” for the time being, but reports leading up to the talks suggested Iran was going to offer to reduce its enrichment of uranium and agree to additional transparency of the process, above and beyond that required in its IAEA safeguards agreement.
The morning presentation gave way to “detailed technical discussions” of the Iranian proposal throughout the afternoon, and Iran’s negotiator, deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, says that the goal is to get to a settlement deal in six months.
US officials also said they would “welcome” an additional bilateral meeting on the side of the Geneva conference, though it is unclear whether or not that will actually happen. US and Iranian officials met at the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September.
Israeli officials are angrily opposed to the talks, and have warned against any deal that would involve lifting sanctions on Iran. Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz today claimed Israel wanted the Geneva talks to succeed, but only yesterday likened the exact same talks to appeasement of Nazi Germany, and closed both comments with calls for “credible military threats” to attack Iran.
Oy vey! Better hurry and finalize the plan for the false-flag operation!
it's a comin'… oh yes, it's a comin'
The Zionist knows the show is over for them even before the fat lady sings [America] they will not be able to say boo to a goose Iran already controls most of the middle east without firing a shot or a nuclear weapon [the Zionist have 200] and now America have to eat crow so destroying Iraq/Libya/Afganistan did not further her ambitions in the middle east.
So it only goes to show how Israel is constantly clamoring for war.
I hope a peaceful agreement can finally be reached with Iran, 34 years of animosity is long enough. I am no authority about the Qur'an, but there must be a passage in it somewhere about patience. Certainly the Iranians have exercised great patience and acted honorably in the face of crippling economic warfare ("sanctions"), having their scientists and other citizens murdered and assassinated and other offenses against their country. I don't think the same can be said of the zionist-controlled US and other Western nations. And yes, we definitely need to keep a very close watch on Israel.
I am optimistic that a deal can be reached that both sides can agree on. The damn Israel lobby, AIPAC, is out in full force attempting to derail the talks. Netanyahu sounds like a whining dog whose bark is worst than its bite. Nick Sarkozy, during a previous discussion with Obama, did not realize there was an open microphone. He called Netanyahu a f****** SOB. Obama replied at least he (Nick) doesn't have to deal with this SOB everyday.
So, thew question becomes whether the Zionists will go ahead and initiate a unilateral attack on Iran or if they create a situation that attempts to dissuade the USG when the US decides it wants to end many of the sanctions and repair diplomatic relations with Iran. Not that Congress will go along quietly, oh no…
“credible military threats”
A world where only deadly force is the lubricant that gets things done, this is the forever condition that Israel wants as permanent. For a guilt complex has the voting majority in Israel knowing full well that if they steal all lands in Palestine, that vengeance will make peace forever impossible.
