David ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.12.13)
he have twisted,change, and lied on most of his promisses that he have lost all credibility. The world safety is in stakes, and he still think he can manipulate the world. Meanwhile Russia is doing what she does best, cashing in on Obama stupid ME strategy.
2. US -"Never Iran have a weapon".!. US allows the tools to mak
Adi ,   Zurich   (11.12.13)
US -"Never Iran have a weapon".!. US allows the tools to make it. No one believes these words anymore
3. $170 Billion Dollars Ambition
Brod ,   USA   (11.12.13)
What a waste? This is what Islamist-Jihadist fanatics do to the wealth of the nation. They waste national resources all for the sake of destroying other countries and dominating the world. They are dangerous. The Persians should rise up and dethrone their Hitler to liberate the country and give the people fresh air called Freedom. Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
4. Country starves, sell body parts to get treatment
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (11.12.13)

6. No nuclear weapons period.." Obama
drdoc online ,   Cape Town   (11.12.13)
The last time he said period... Millions in the usa lost their healthcare insurance and doctors.... So when he says period... It means nothing....
7. #3, #4 not a waste, and #5
(11.12.13)
The Iranian leadership believes (and they are right) that without nukes they will cease to exist and with nukes they will control a new empire. They actually have no choice but to develop nukes at any price. What should surprise you is how the Obama regime suported Ahmadinejad when he quashed the Green Revolution, the last chance for peacefully preventing Iran from getting nukes. #5 Who makes the Iranian people suffer? You sound like those people who three years ago (like Obama and Erdogan) who said that Assad was a visionary reformist, and admitted the truth only when it was to their political advantage.
8. $170 Billion? Are you kidding? Thats nowhere near
Tim ,   Brighton   (11.12.13)
Because when you factor in the cost of sanctions, the widespread industrial scale corruption, the cost of sanctions busting, the cost of militarisation, the cost of Hezbollah and their involvement in Syria EVEN THE MOST CONSERVATIVE estimates are than approaching $1 TRILLION with the average estimate at $1.25 TRILLION MOST of which could be attributed to Ahmadinejads Madness Quite a legacy for Iran while he sits out in comfortable retirement without so much as a care in the world whilst the people of Iran have to pick up the pieces
9. #5....Some factual anomalies I fear
Tim ,   Brighton   (11.12.13)
Its the Iranian Nuclear Fraud that came first, the threats of Annihilation of Israel, Denying the Holocaust,... and ONLY THEN came sanctions Yet Ahmadinejad persisted and ratcheted up the threats and continued with his meaningless charade of so called talks that yielded nothing except bringing the world to a hairs breath from conflagration And who suffers The People...ordinary Iranians Ahmadinejad cheerfully claimed would east their last crumb if he demanded it! Whilst the chosen few of the Elite continue to amass VAST EYE WATERING wealth And the man responsible, the very man who chose to BLESS HIS NUCLEAR ROD in front of the worlds cameras...has disappeared TO A COMFY RETIREMENT Lets hope that these talks yield results of substance that are credible and that can underpin a new POST AHMADINEJAD era in the Middle East
