AP: Iran ready for ‘serious’ nuclear talks
Iran formally responded Tuesday to a package of Western incentives aimed at persuading Tehran to suspend uranium enrichment, with officials saying it has offered a “new formula” to resolve the dispute. The country’s top nuclear negotiator said Tehran was ready to enter “serious negotiations.”
Iran’s top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, hand-delivered Iran’s response to the Western package of nuclear incentives to ambassadors from Britain, China, Russia, France, Germany and Switzerland, state-run television said, without disclosing details.
Officials close to the meeting said Iran’s response offered the “new formula” to resolve the dispute over Tehran’s nuclear activities. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.
“Iran has provided a comprehensive response to everything said in the Western package. In addition, Iran, in its formal response, has asked some questions to be answered,” one official said, without elaborating.

So, let’s “TALK ABOUT TALKS.”
Another STALL by IRAN.
In the meantime, the centrifuges are spinning and enriching uranium at Natanz and Iran is a few moments closer to possessing a nuclear weapon.
The P-5-Plus-1 will probably negotiate again with Iran. And the August 31 deadline by the UNSC demanding Iran halt uranium enrichment?
Who knows? AND Who cares?
United Nations Security Council sanctions are WORTHLESS.
The United States and Israel will make their OWN assessment and when the “POINT OF NO RETURN” is reached…..
