Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran Receives Big 6 Nuclear Initiative

***Update***

AP: U.S. to Give Iran Nuclear Technology

In a major concession, the United States is prepared to provide Iran with some nuclear technology if it stops enriching uranium, diplomats said Tuesday.

The offer was part of a package of incentives presented to Tehran Tuesday by European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, said the diplomats, who were familiar with the proposals. The diplomats demanded anonymity in exchange for discussing details of the offer, which was agreed on last week by six world powers in a bid to resolve the nuclear standoff with Iran.

And what better way to keep an eye on Iran’s nuclear facilities – covertly?

And doesn’t Iran want nuclear technology for peaceful electricity generating purposes?

And, finally, more reasonableness shown to the international community further diplomatically traps Iran.

How obvious…….

Allah has Nuclear meltdown: U.S. offers Iran N-technologyÂ

Say this much for Billy Jeff: when it happened on his watch, at least it wasnâ€™t intentional.

Charles has this slightly wrong, actually. Whatever Kerryâ€™s advisors were saying at the time, public perceptions of Democratic weakness would have made him think twice before trying something so craven as president. As with Nixon and China, only Bush has enough anti-Islamist cachet to appease Islamists so nakedly.

Bush has nothing to lose by doing the deal because if he doesnâ€™t, Germany will. If Germany doesnâ€™t, Russia will, etc. Itâ€™s a prisonerâ€™s dilemma, and like all prisonerâ€™s dilemmas itâ€™s made possible by the disunity of the participants (read: the west). Some on the left will ignore that and blame our lack of strategic options on Iraq, but if we werenâ€™t there most of them would oppose a military strike on Iran anyway.

And why not let Haliburton and Boeing make some money on the deal?Â Again, while keeping an eye on what Iran is REALLY doing!

ASSociated Press: Iran receives anti-nuclear incentives

A package of incentives that represents a major initiative by world powers to persuade Iran to curb its nuclear program contains “positive steps” but also some “ambiguities,” the country’s top nuclear negotiator said Tuesday.

Speaking on state television after receiving the proposals from EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, Ali Larijani called the talks with Solana “constructive” and said Iran would respond after studying the incentives.

The United States along with the four other veto-wielding members of the U.N. Security Council â€” Britain, France, Russia and China â€” drew up the package with Germany in a meeting in Vienna on Friday.

Solana, who arrived in Tehran on Monday night, met Larijani for two hours at the Supreme National Security Council building in central Tehran. Journalists were barred from the building.

Iran’s initial reaction was relatively upbeat, with none of its usual insistence that it would never give up its right to enrichment.

“The proposals contain positive steps and also some ambiguities,” Larijani said.

He did not identify the “ambiguities,” but he said he had discussed them with Solana and that more talks would be required.

“We hope we will have negotiations and deliberations again after we have carefully studied the proposals,” he said.

“This is a framework of cooperation that requires taking careful steps from the outset,” Larijani said.

State-run television, in Persian, quoted Solana after the meeting as saying that the talks were “constructive” and that he looked forward to a “bright future.”

Don’t hold your breath waiting for Iran to gleefully accept the Big 6 offer. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has diplomatically “trapped” Iran and Iran MUST appear reasonable and rationale to the international community.

However, does anyone REALLY expect Iran to “LOSE” its uranium enrichment program when it covets a nuclear weapon?

NOPE.

“The meeting has been very useful,” Solana said afterward in comments aired on state-run TV’s English-language channel.

“I have a feeling that it has been very, very constructive,” he said, adding that the two sides would have contacts in the coming days on the proposals.

Solana was to explain the details of the package but go no further. The EU envoy, who is heading a seven-person delegation, later met Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki before leaving Iran later Tuesday.

“It was agreed that the Islamic Republic of Iran will will study the package. We will inform our friends of Iran’s views after a careful study,” Mottaki told state television after his talks with Solana. The EU envoy was expected to leave Iran later Tuesday.

Yeah Yeah Yeah…..double and triple speak.

Next, Iran will restrain the bloviations of Ahmadinejad as they prepare to stall and obfuscate a negotiation of the initiatives’ details. However, the clock has started for a UNSC sanctions “point of no return”

Tick Tick……
