Negotiations are done, the text is as final as it is ever going to be, and the European Union seems surprisingly upbeat on the nuclear deal’s chances, saying they envision a “very quick” response from Iran and the US on the matter.
That hope comes in spite of there not being a quick anything in the years of negotiations. Both the US and Iran are reportedly weighing the text, though some reports say the US stands ready to “quickly conclude” the deal.
That sounds very hopeful, especially since several recent EU attempts to bring both sides to the table convinced Iran quite readily, only for the US to stall and then suggest time was running out.
US officials say the EU plan is the “only possible basis” for a deal, while Iran has reportedly backed off key demands. Time seems right to make a deal, and if it’s going to happen, it clearly should happen soon.
Much wishful thinking since all else looks so bleak, can they trust Biden and the neocons? They must, they should, know better.
Us can’t attack anymore so deal is very likely. They know Russia would love to pay them back for Ukraine and us is out of a lot of ammunition and it’s economy is not strong enough for them to deal with whole middle east getting lit up which will happen after the first air strikes.
I didn’t see the Russian War in Ukraine coming so maybe I will be proved wrong here too but I doubt it
The nature of the public presentation, trying to put pressure on the parties, without releasing the actual draft, has to make you suspicious. And one tends to doubt the target of the pressure is the Washington/Israel gang.
“That sounds very hopeful…” Reminds me of Mark Twain. He said, “substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write ‘very;’ your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.” As an antiwar advocate, maybe after many major disappointments I’m just not a “very hopeful” person nowadays.
There’s everything in life but hope…But I still hope anyway…
ByeDone has to ask his boss, Lapid, first.
Don’t anyone hold their breath.
