حذر البيت الابيض الثلاثاء الكونغرس الاميركي من ان التصويت على عقوبات جديدة ضد ايران سيضرب الجهود الدبلوماسية الاميركية للتوصل الى اتفاق معها حول البرنامج النووي، وقد لا يترك امام الرئيس باراك أوباما سوى خيار استخدام القوة العسكرية.

وقال المتحدث باسم الرئاسة الاميركية جاي كارني ان "الشعب الاميركي لا يريد ان يخوض حربا".

وكان مسؤولون اميركيون وجهوا التحذير نفسه لاعضاء في مجلس الشيوخ يفكرون هذا الاسبوع في فرض عوبات جديدة على ايران التي يشتبه في انها تريد امتلاك السلاح الذري تحت غطاء برنامج نووي مدني.

وقال كارني: "من الطبيعي جدا والمبرر ان يفضل الاميركيون ان لا يحصل الايرانيون على القنبلة النووية عبر الطريق السلمي، وهذا الاتفاق، ان تم بلوغه، سيكون له القدرة" على تحقيق ذلك.

واضاف ان "البديل سيكون العمل العسكري".

ولم تسمح المفاوضات التي جرت في جنيف وانتهت في وقت متاخر ليل السبت، لايران ودول مجموعة 5+1 (الولايات المتحدة وروسيا وفرنسا والصين وبريطانيا والمانيا) بالاتفاق على نص على الرغم من وصول وزراء الخارجية غير المتوقع ومفاوضات مكثفة.

واعلن المسؤولون من مختلف الدول ان اتفاقا لا يزال ممكنا لكنه يتطلب المزيد من المفاوضات. وتم تحديد موعد لاجتماع اخر في 20 تشرين الثاني لمواصلة المباحثات.

Unfortunately, Obama may be a very good lawyer but a leader he is not. In the latest round of the Geneva talks between P5+1 and Iran he was willing to accept a deal that does not include Iran's handing over of its 20% enriched Uranium and does not include a freeze to the Arak Plutonium reactor's construction.
Without those two conditions any six month deal to freeze Iran's nuclear activities is a bad deal. The French were correct in refusing it as they are the best positioned to make such a judgement based on their history of expertise in that area vis Iran's nuclear capabilities.

Yalla nuclear Iran, and then nuclear Saudi Arabia, Qatar, you name it. We already have Pakistan. Good way to shave off the population in the Middle East.

I don't put much faith in that Israeli website because it is even to the right of Likud and Netanyahu. They make up stories most of the time and their analyses is completely self serving to their hard line ideology.

A better source would be something like ForeignPolicy site which presents a more balanced approach even if sometimes it too is self serving. Understand I am always skeptical of all media running stories to support their point of view. That is why I read many different sites and then form my opinions. I find the following URL closer to the truth:

Here is another URL to an article that I think better describes US Iranian latest tango and goals:

In the end, self interests of both the US and Iran dictate an accommodation between their two countries. Meanwhile, each side will jockey to get the better part of the deal. Leaving the Arak reactor and the 20% enriched Uranium off the table in this latest deal is an unforgivable negotiation blunder on the part of the Obama's US rushing head on to score some points with the American public to shore up Obama's job approval rating which lately have dipped below 39%.

In that light, the French were absolutely astute to refuse the deal even at the risk of coming across as spoilers. A deal that includes freezing the Arak reactor and tackles the 20% enriched Uranium would be one worth signing.

The US Congress and its masters in Israel are so blind that they cannot see.
The US, they demand must up the ante on sanctions as a prelude to negotiations. That is a valid negotiation strategy given that we are giving up sanctions to get movement from Iran on its nuclear program.
When Iran ups the ante on its nuclear program, for the very same reason, following the same negotiation strategy, since it is the nuclear program that they must give on, the hardliners here call it a sign of insincerity. So guess what, the hardliners in Iran call our move the same thing and so negotiations do not happen from mutual mistrust over the mirrored negotiating strategy. Netanyhu must be happy to have foiled peaceful negotiations again.
