With signs that the Iran nuclear deal is all set to be made, reports are emerging that the US is making some last minute demands, and Iranian leaders are quick to shut them down, saying defensive weapons are not to be part of this deal.
Details of what the US broached have not been made public but Iran is being very public in rejecting the idea of attaching either their defensive missiles or their space program to the pact.
The US may see a logic to this, as their sanctions indeed are built around things like Iran having defensive missiles, or indeed a space program, trying to tie those technologies to a weapons delivery system for weapons Iran doesn’t have and isn’t seeking.
With the deal further cementing that Iran isn’t going to have nuclear weapons, it makes little sense to make missile technology part of it. The US probably won’t end up insisting on this, but every time a deal nears, new demands are introduced.
And every time new demands are introduced, the further from the deal.
Let us make sure we sanction EVERY COUNFRY that has oil so orices of gas go up, and inflation blissoms
Putin did not force Biden to keep Iranua oil off market.
This is Biden price hike.
Biden isn’t responsible for any of our current problems. It’s always Putin, Trump, Iran, China or some other supposedly despicable entity.
“every time a deal nears, new demands are introduced.”
That was the way it was in the 10 years or so leading up to the first deal.
US: “We want A, B, and C.”
Iranians: “Sure, fine.”
US: Well, no, unless we get D, E, and F too.”
Iranians: “OK.”
US: “Oh, and …”
If Obama hadn’t felt like he needed a foreign policy win in 2015, it would have just kept on going that way.
Absolutely correct. Remember the 2010 deal the Turks and Brazilians got? They got a letter from Obama specifying the exact deal he wanted. They got it. 24 hours he reneged. Which is why they published the letter – to prove he was a liar. He only relented later when he wanted that win.
“US is making some last minute demands, and Iranian leaders are quick to shut them down…”
Tell me again how “close” this deal is. Oh, right, you will – tomorrow…and the next day…and the next day…
They want to keep punishing Iran. I think they just like it that way.
