New reports are emerging of another Iranian initiative to end the ongoing dispute over their civilian nuclear program, and virtually the moment the news hit the Obama Administration was out condemning the plan as unacceptable.
The “nine step” Iranian plan is essentially a simple one, with Iran winding down 20 percent enrichment throughout the steps as the European Union and the US work to end an ongoing embargo of Iranian oil, with both the sanctions and the 20 percent enrichment wrapping up at the end of the plan.
The Obama Administration says that ending the production of 20 percent enriched uranium wouldn’t “guarantee” that Iran can’t make a weapon, even though 20 percent enriched uranium is well below weapons grade to begin with, saying it is unacceptable for Iran to even be allowed to keep the existing uranium in the country.
Even as they insist the deal is unacceptable, officials are crowing that the offer is vindication for the sanctions, providing that they have crippled Iran’s economy to the point that its government is panicking and trying to work something out.
In the end though, Iran’s willingness to cut a deal was never in serious doubt, and is probably totally irrelevant as the US seems determined to reject any conceivable compromise.
Miserable American bastards. Years ago when the Iranians offered something similar, through the mediation of the Brazilians and Turks, the FedGov ate crow and backpedaled on the very deal they demanded. Now they're hollering and hooting over this and it is quite clear that the US, as the Iranians said years ago, were in no way interested in any deal.
I believe, that Iranian society, Iranian people togheter with their leaders found the way , that they will continue support Iranian stand against illegal blocade, because US/Israel whold be happy, if revolt happened inside Iran. Iranian people should continue with their sample how to chalenge Evil Zionism.and benefit on it….peter czech
Iran must take the initiative and bring the BRICS nations onboard to this program, and the NAM nations. At every turn Iran should isolate, and make irrelevant the terror sanctions, and negotiations that are done in Israel's favor.
The US is a bully being bullied by a bigger bully Israel and they want WAR and regime change…. Iran's nuclear program has nothing to do with their agenda so it's useless for Iran to seek compromise.
Oil companys want money because of the price going up due to the sanctions,ans the MIC wants a war to make money and do Israels bidding.They are criminals of the worst kind all deserve what will one day come to them.
When things turn around, the US will wish to have taken this deal. But it willl be too late.
Russia, China and others need to put Iran and othjer under their full defence including a nucular umbrella like America does for Israel and others.Time to leval the playing field and then hopfully America and Israel will be forced to obey international laws.Russia and China have said they stand with Iran and it's peacefull nucular program but, Putin needs to anounce to the world they will defend Iran and other sovergn states with a possible WW3 OR 4 because all the wars since WW2 I belive were WW3.
Will an Empire so corrupt as USA keep a promise if it hurts? Has it ever? Enough said.
