Iran Nuclear Watch: Back to Sanctions or Military Action?
Iran’s top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili (L) is pictured before a meeting on nuclear issues with European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana (R), and US Undersecretary of State William Burns (3rdR) in Geneva. World powers’ latest bid to make Iran halt its nuclear programme stalled as high-level talks ended without a deal and Washington warned of possible further “confrontation.
In a shocking surprise, even after the United States dispatched Under Secretary of State William Burns to the meeting, Iran “STONEWALLED” the issue of uranium enrichment.
A U.S. decision to bend policy and sit down with Iran at nuclear talks fizzled Saturday, with Iran stonewalling Washington and five other world powers on their call to freeze uranium enrichment.
In response, the six gave Iran two weeks to respond to their demand, setting the stage for a new round of U.N. sanctions.
Iran’s refusal to consider suspending enrichment was an indirect slap at the United States, which had sent Undersecretary of State William Burns to the talks in hopes the first-time American presence would encourage Tehran into making concessions.
Officials and diplomats refused to characterize the timeframe as an ultimatum, but it appeared clear that Iran now has a de-facto deadline to show flexibility.
The United States and its allies have done all they can do to negotiate with Iran. Iran has stalled for YEARS.
As Flap has said before, time for Israel and the United States to either act or allow Iran BREAKOUT CAPABILITY.
