There is no Iran nuclear deal yet, and everyone agrees its someone else’s fault. Iranian FM Hossein Amiradollahian reported Thursday that that they view this as the fault of the US.
Amiradollahian says that if the US is pragmatic, a deal could be reached in the short term, and that the US has “unrealistic” expectations and are just wasting time.
The US and Iran both seem to have different expectations of how things will unroll, but Iran seems to have come in line with the rest of the negotiating nations, and the US keeps adding extra demands that are improbable when a deal seems to be close.
The specific disagreements aren’t clear anymore, with most things already resolved. Reports are that the US is considering removing the Iran Revolutionary Guard from the terror list, either as part of the deal or as part of a side-deal with the US in return for a promise to deescalate regional violence.
Neither side seems to be ruling out any offers, but both the US and Iran seem to want the other side agree with them, so they get credit for the deal, while wanting to make sure the other side takes the blame if it falls apart.
It’s never been anything but theatre, coz Israel needs this enemy as much as we need Russia.
Only Iran is ten times bigger in population, has much more land mass, much more petrowealth, persecutes it sown people, sponsors hate cartoons, and launches terrorism aborad.
Israel has nukes and owns the US congress. Populations don’t fight wars and land mass is irrelevant. Israel is practicing apartheid in Israel proper, treats the Palestinians like “cockroaches” and runs a large outdoor prison called Gaza. The only terrorism done in the region is by Israel with their sabotages, assassinations and weekly bombing raids. Name the Iranian terrorism you keep talking about without going back to 1994.
Grow up! The corporate America own the US congress.”Populations don’t fight wars”tell that to China.You refuse to acknowledge that Iran blew up an Israeli embassy in Argentina-an act of war in itself,blew up a Jewish cultural center in Argentina, and was in large part responsible for the death of 287 sleeping marines in Beirut.

So you think Iran is going to storm Israel’s borders with hordes of Persians? That must mean there should be no fear of any nukes being produced.
Once again you bring up Argentina. You’d think you’d have so much more but that’s always what you trot out. And by saying the Marines were sleeping doesn’t make it terrorism. You think military targets get wake up calls before they get attacked?
1.Iran already has their proxy armies in Syrian and Hezbollah on Israel’s borders, but when these terrorists are pushed back with air strikes, you complain.
2.Since YOU did mention referring to people as roaches-just google Palestine +antisemitic cartoons, or Iran+ antisemitic cartoons.Then wonder why people refer to those who hate them as roaches.
What terrorist acts are the invited Iranian forces in Syria doing? Any Hezbollah terrorist acts? Did they assassinate any scientists in broad daylight? Any nuclear facilities being sabotaged? And what are they being “pushed back” from? Were they attacking Israel?
And if I google any hatred Israel shows towards those “roaches” will I find IDF soldiers wearing T-shirts with a picture of a pregnant woman in cross hairs with the caption underneath that reads “1 shot 2 kills”? Or how about Israel children signing missiles that are about to be sent into Lebanon with “From Israel with love”
So you can whine all you want about cartoons and such but Israel is just as guilty. But they are much more guilty when it comes to actual terrorism.
Israel has every moral right to kill the cancer at its door before it gets too big.
Your problem is you don’t want to discuss reality. You rely on platitudes and exaggerated threats. Iran is containable and no threat to Israel. Period. Now look in your playbook and come back with either their 80 million horde storming Israel or their imaginary nukes being an existential threat to them. I’ll wait with bated breath.
YOUR problem is that YOU don’t want to face reality.Iran can use Lebanon and Syria to play out a prolonged war of attrition,once they have an nuclear cover.
Thats just more conjecture. You never talk about what is actually happening. Just like your terrorism claims. And you’re all over the map. It’s either hordes storming Israel’s borders, wars of attrition or the “one bomb” theory you threw out recently. You can’t even make up your mind which hypothetical to use.
“The specific disagreements aren’t clear anymore, with most things already resolved.” Another set of contradictory sentences. Not to mention that “deescalate regional violence” has nothing to do with the original JCPOA, which means the US continues to pile on demands which are not relevant, which in turn means the US is not serious about rejoining the JCPOA. As I’ve said for the past year…
The US actually does not care about resurrecting either the JCPOA or renegotiating with Venezuela but just looking like it cares. It thinks that US LNG will fill the bill. The problem with that is Germany, which is most reliant on Russian natural gas has no LNG terminals. The political class in Germany are too much in the thrall of the US and NATO, aka the US, is determining not only German foreign policy but also German economic policy, not of course to the benefit of Germany, but to benefit the US MIC and the Oil/gas sector of the US economy.
The original breakdown of the Deal was caused entirely by US bad faith and lies.
Biden promised to fix that if elected, but he lied. He did not change the basic problems created so deliberately by Trump.
In fact, he added to what Trump did instead of reducing it.
Worse, he refused even to promise he would not repeat what Trump did as soon as he had a new Deal, re-imposing the same Trump sanctions for “other reasons”
Biden continued to press for all of the other extra things that Trump ever mentioned.
So now, as it lingers not quite done, who is responsible for the hang fire? All the way to now, the sole responsibility for bad behavior was the US, and all of the US Western partners freely said so at the time.
Of course that is still the problem.
Even before the election, he was hemming and hawing about “additional issues.” He was never going to just bring the US into compliance with the deal as required by law (it is a UN Security resolution and therefore binding on all member states — the only way to “withdraw” from it is to withdraw from the UN).
Biden needs Iran’s oil to offset his sanctions on Russia. Without it, the US, and Europe could experience a resurgence of stagflation. Russia, as one of the original signatories of the JCPOA, demanded that nothing in a new agreement would preclude Iran from honoring its commitments to other countries.
I read that as a demand that Biden not sneak new sanctions upon Russia through the back door of an agreement with Iran. Obviously, that’s exactly what Biden planned to do. It would not otherwise be something that would stop negotiations.
The JCPOA, even the idea of it, is unfair to Iran. Let’s hope it never returns.
