Getting the Iran nuclear talks resumed after Iran’s election is taking longer than anyone expected. US officials are increasingly critical of Iran, saying that they and “allies” have a shared impatience on the matter.
Envoy Robert Malley describes this as a critical phase for the process, though since nothing is happening it’s really just a critical phase for US threats and claims that time is running out.
Malley said the US plan is to keep pushing diplomacy and prepare for “other steps,” which are a thinly veiled threat to attack Iran. So its a critical phase for pushing threats, which will no doubt be cheered by Israeli officials, the allies with the shared impatience in the first place.
All of this is likely a reaction to reports that Iranian politicians are upset at the government’s slow action, allowing the US to hit them over the slow process, even as the US has been reluctant to advance the talks themselves.
Iran is more impatient than the United States.
Iran should be impatient with Biden for not immediately suspending the sanctions.
It’s not the U.S. that’s impatient. It’s her welfare queen client that are so jammed about time. In their minds they fear tick tick tick BANG..!!!! BUT so does Iran. Maybe it’s time for a compromise so neither side makes this bad situation go BANG!! WHAT DA YA THINK…??????????
Well, we’ve been patient regarding Israel’s undeclared and uninspected nukes for 60 years..
Mordecai Vanunu still a prisoner. In his own home.
Nobody in the World believes what the US says anymore.
If you want to know whether or not the U.S. is lying, just look to see if their lips are moving….!!!!!!!!
Arrogant b..stard. Your bloody nation trashed the agreement. You get back to compliance. If only the “allies:” were actual allies and not vassals they’d isolate the US on this and lift all sanctions. Sadly they arent so they will be as responsible for any war as the Washington Empire.
WTF…!!!!!!! Just drop the sanctions and Iran will return to compliance, if they don’t, just reimpose the sanctions.. Is this difficult to understand or is the exceptionalist redoubt still enrertaining visions of divine intervention and pre- armeggeddin conttol.. ?????
The AmeraNato krew want a quick return of compliance with no relief of sanctions. Their offer has no carrots, only sticks.. In desperation, what do they do? They increas the sticks with threats of attack… Gee, what great strategy..NOT! AND look who is doing the squirming..!!! It ain’t Iran… Soon the Israelis will be trying to get spent fuel out of Dimona, That would scare everyone..!!!!
Immediately suspend the murderous, stifling sanctions which only rally the populace around hardline clerics. Accompanied, if appearing “tough” is such a priority, with a snapback provision in, say, a year if the IAEA has not certified the winding down of enrichment activity. This should have been a day one Executive Order and certainly done before the May 2021 rout of reformists in the elections. And yet they still signal a willingness to come back to the deal, since the sanctions ARE so horrible. Hardliners regaining the sanctions relief reformists lost would be a potent political humiliation. But it is laughable to demand that Iran first come back into compliance with a deal the US broke. What an absolute joke.
The HYPOCRISY is beyond belief.. And combined with other Israeli outrage’s like land theft and the murderous way they treat those that they mistreat and imprison. Their lack of conpreheniion of the public relation aspect of their acts only underlines such outrages. Its almost as if they have set out to recreate the hell the Reich created but with themselves the victimizer and not the victims. Hard on Americans like me to be forced to support their efforts with my taxes that are extorted in spite of being against an American law which proscribes “aid” money being given as to nonsignatories to the treaty who posses nuclear weapons. Just another outrage that blood money is illegally extorted as U.S. taxes from you me…!!!!!!!
If the US/Israel go to war it will be their choice- not a war forced by Iran. We broke the deal, it’s on us to make the moves to fix things. Iran should not have to make any further concessions or agreements for us to do what we should have been doing all along.
That is truly rich. It’s like I set fire to my neighbor’s house out of meanness and then complain that he didn’t apologize to me quickly enough.
No, it’s set the fire to the neighbor’s house, cut the hose so he could not extinguish it.
..and then complain that he didn’t apologize quickly enough.
“and allies” – is so phony. The “allies” didn’t walk away from the original deal, the boss of the “allies” scotched the deal.
Impatience? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Lift the sanctions, then watch the speed with which a new agreement is done.
This is the latest from the prop-kitchen — Iranians are concerned? We care about Iranuans!
As if it is a secret that Iran put forth a proposal that simply asked for US rejoining the deal, and Iran return to compliance. Biden refused. Is there a reason Biden wants to have talks for the sake of talking? Or for the sake of having a daily stream of “unhappiness ” over Iran’s “behavior”?
Unless US has a counteroffer, is there a point in “talking”?
It us clear from Iran’s integration in Eurasian economic and political life, that the region has moved on past JCPOA. As far as SCO is concerned, Iran has past their reliability test, and promoted to full voting membership of the organization this August. Proof that it does not matter is found in Saudi negotiations with Iran. Another proof is Egypt and Saudi Kingdom joining SCO last sumner. And if more proof is needed, Teheran will be hosting a foreign ministerial conference of all Afghanistan neighbors and Taliban to start implementation of Moscow decisions on Afghanistan.
With US war for profit mentality, it is not far fetch to say US will in deed start a war with Iran and when they see that they cannot end it and the body bags flying to homeland at a fast pace, then they wake up and lift the sanctions…!
Jason seems to be questioning “claims that time is running out.” Pro-war folks will likely resubmit the picture of Netanyahu next to his famous bomb diagram from 2012 as indisputable evidence. Jason is still not likely to be impressed.
I didn’t get that impression at all. I thought what Jason was doing was questioning the motives of the US for claiming that time was running out.
“So its a critical phase for pushing threats, which will no doubt be cheered by Israeli officials, the allies with the shared impatience in the first place.”
I agree, it was a poor attempt at humor. Both the lie and the motive behind the lie are clear. Biden could have re-entered the pre-existing deal if he truly wanted peace. Foreign policy from the Trump years remains mostly unchanged. Biden “floats balloons” like he wants to do something good but in the end his “concerns and feelings” result in the same foreign policy. The MSM provides the K-Y Jelly.
The very people who stalled, delayed, and avoided a resolution are now impatient? What a stinking lie.
Only Amerikkka would withdraw from the deal in the first place, then express “impatience” with Iran.
I personally believe Iran should tell Amerikkka to go fuck itself, then carry on as it sees fit.
