With a Senate compromise ensuring that the US Congress will be given effective veto power over any nuclear deal negotiated with Iran, Iranian officials are reminding the US that they are only one of six nations being negotiated with.
Reforming President Hassan Rouhani expressed annoyance at the move, saying Iran isn’t negotiating with the US Senate to begin with and shouldn’t have to face the possibility of the Senate overriding a deal made.
Israel, by contrast, is thrilled at the bill throwing a road-block in front of a potential nuclear deal, with Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz terming it “an achievement for Israeli policy.”
The bill dramatically weakens the US negotiating position at the talks, as it will now be unclear if the US negotiators can actually deliver what they offer without having to first check with a hawkish Congress largely opposed to any deal.
The bill will give Congress at least 30 days after a deal is nominally reached to kill it, which further imperils the deal, with Iranian officials wanting sanctions lifted when the deal takes effect. They’ll be expected to start implementing their limits on civilian nuclear work immediately, of course, not after the Senate says its okay.
Didn´t anyone see this coming? What is actually true is that the US is only one of the negotiators. And by this time, not the most important; only the pettiest and most dishonest. The loss of prestige when other nations deal directly with Iran over the US´ tantrums (read Russia and China) will confirm what is truly evident: the US is devoid of any type of morality. So much for hectoring others or pretending to be exceptional. Unless it is exceptionally dishonest. as for the Isrealites, by this time they are hardly news.
Let's hope the Senate kills the deal. The world will then be forced to recognize the US is a crazy, rogue state and totally controlled by israel. The planet can then move on to working out its own modus vivendi with Iran, on the Palestine Question, etc., etc.
The World already knows that Uncle Sam is a mad elephant on a rampage across the globe.
It's only the ignorant uneducated Americans (and also the overeducated idiots in their ivory towers) that haven't figured it out. Yet.
You're assuming a lot, for example that the other five will ignore the US. I hope you're right and that the US is totally isolated not only from Russia and China, but from the Europeans as well.
While Uncle Sam is trying to destroy Iran over a non-existent nuclear weapons program, the Canadians are all excited about selling many tons of uranium to India. India, by the way, has never signed the NPT and continues to develop their nuclear weapons program with Uncle Sam's blessing.
Since Herr Harper took over, Canada does exactly what Uncle Sam wants. Harper is still hoping to get approval for a certain pipeline so he never hesitates at a chance to kiss Uncle Sam's butt. Disgusting.
Full faith and trust in USA — Full submission and slavery to an Empire
For perfect government forbids all trust. For just as in perfect marriage where neither spouse goes alone where adultery could take place, so it is in good government, as secrecy and blind faith turn a relationship into pure slavery for the trusting party.
Anyone who finds the ability of Israel and its supporters to defy the foreign policy options of the US president does not understand the nature of Zionism . This ideology is the foundation of political thought for a group that can dictate to the Vatican who may and who may not be canonized (e.g. Pope Pius XII).
Certainly a group that can dictate policy to the world's largest Christian religion can easily demonize Obama. He is the perfect target with accusation or suggestions that he is Muslim, black (of course), a "liberal" and an emerging anti-Semite.

I want to know how many cetrifuges Israel ans the USA have?
You simply can not trust capitalistic government nor the lying neo liberalism in bed with capitalism and neo fascism. These systems and their operating agendas are based on corporation deceiving policies which domestically and internationally practices daily.
The Obama or David Cameron, Angela Markell or Hillary Clinton for that matter, social political agendas, actions are in jeopardy due to being bonded by their social political and corporate agendas in being against working people, they simply presenting deceptive and fraudulent prospects of economy institutions. slavery, colonialism, militarism, dictatorship, police state, supporting terrorism or government sponsored regimes are their last resort they are turning to for helpe. capitalism and neo liberalism/neo fascism is not about people but rather destruction of humans iidenties, liberties and social political or economic prosperity's, forcing mankind to accept capitalism and neo liberalism agendas.
Capitalism, neo liberalism and their economies Infurstructer is in very deep economical problem and the system knows that, but they are so behind in time of people's social progress that they rather keep their agendas rather then see the reality, they call their mismanaged, deception, fraud and all other criminal acts "interests" as if world was named and created to be theirs.
It is amazing that the GOP is so fervently asserting Congress' role in approving the agreement with Iran, while at the same time they want to abrogate the role of Congress with respect to trade agreements like the TPP by passing "fast track."
Is the GOP consistent on ANY issue at all? Any?
they are consistently f*(*ng crazy.
