The Iran nuclear deal remains, as ever, well within reach according to those familiar with the situation. The difficult question at this point is whether anyone is properly reaching, or if talks are totally stalled.
That’s not a question so easily answered. The US and Iran are primary parties right now, but the two sides never meet to talk. Instead, their dealing is done indirectly through EU negotiators. EU negotiators are still there, but what’s happening behind the scenes is anyone’s guess.
Iran says the “ball is in the US’s court,” while US media is claiming that the one real issue left is the question of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) getting removed from the US terror blacklist.
A few weeks ago, reports were that the IRGC matter would be a side deal announced concurrently with, but separate from, the nuclear pact. More recently, Iran suggested that the two deals should not get tangled up as they didn’t want to see the issue delay things.
It doesn’t seem anything is settled on the matter, but it sure is slowing things up. The US reportedly is resisting any sanctions relief to the IRGC even if they’re off the blacklist. Iran talked of keeping the matter separate but is also said to be holding it up as a “red line.”
Iran says ball is in US’ court.US says ball is in Iran’s court. Both are clueless. Ball is in Israel’s court.Israel should kick start for the US to move. Lackeys will not decide without master’s order
Iran should seriously ponder over if they should proceed with the talks when US declares Israel can take whatever action it thinks against Iran. Any agreement will be worthless. In fact negotiation, if at all it is possible, should be between Iran and Israel. US is only a side player
Iran doesn’t want a peace deal with Israel, only a sanctions deal with the USA. For Iran, a peace deal with Israel would only come after freedom for the Palestinians.
I do not disagree with you. What I meant an was that U S is only a side player with no power to take any decision. US can not and will not cross the line drawn by Israel
Iran should allow freedom for its Kurds-viva kURDESTAN!
Why should ethnic groups have separate countries? Surely Nation States should all be multicultural now.
The globalists wish just that,with themselves as unelected rulers. Ukranians do not wish to rejoin a revived USSR,Many Palestinians want one state for themselves only,Egypt is pretty much Judenrein .Japan does not recognize people born in Japan of Korean dsecent as Japanese. Iran calls itself an”Islamic Republic”Quite a world.
Indeed, and that kind of thinking is what made the 20th century so bloodthirsty. People with this mindset are living in an impossible past. Iran has an Islamist government but its people are increasingly secular. There’s no logic in saying this piece of land belongs to this ethnic group. They can fight for it but if you keep fighting then eventually you’ll be destroyed as this is the age of nuclear weapons and there is always a bigger fish.
Obviously the US is too clever for Iran, ROFL.
US is just playing Iran and leading her on—US is not sure whether it will need to play Iran against Russia, or Russia against Iran.
Giggle… At least Jason’s reporting is beginning to sound reasonably skeptical…
