1. It is now showing -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (12.13.13)
-Iran seeks excuses to back of their Deal. Obama failed again as assumed. Arn.Sweden.
2. That`s it
Nora Tel Aviv   (12.13.13)
Now is the time for Iran to halt negotiations at every opportunity, in order to advance its nuclear program. Poor Obama , Ruhani plays with him like a cat playing with a mouse.
3. they got their cash, now they can walk!
Lemmings Hotlineq ,   sd usa   (12.13.13)
thanks Obama. Can you put me in the next "selfie"
4. But Bibi Said . . .
Mark of Lewiston ,   USA   (12.13.13)
All the rhetoric from Netanyahu was that more and tighter sanctions would get Iran to collapse and dismantle its entire nuclear program. Piece of Cake. So now we see if Iran returns to the table or if Congress votes to go to war after the month off for Christmas for Congress.
5. ABSOLUTELY IN ORDER..............
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (12.13.13)
To abandon the talks....................let no country be under the impression that Iran is always at the receiving end.
6. When will the US figure out its position is weak?
spyguy ,   seattle USA   (12.13.13)
The hard reality is the more the US pushes, the quicker the rest of the world is going to end the sanctions and tell the US to shut up and go sit in the corner. All the belligerence from the US will just end up giving it only two options - (1) shut up and go away, or (2) start a war that will devastate the US economy, physically destroy Saudi Arabia and Israel and lead to a humiliating US defeat. The US can NOT win at this game. The US can ONLY lose a little or a lot.
7. A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE GENEVA
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (12.13.13)
Sitting in November.USA had clearly indicated that no new sanctions of any nature will be imposed in the interim period.............................it did not adhere to its commitment and thus the very correct Iranian response.Are you in doubt?
8. #5&7 Geneva be blowed; 6 UN sec council resolutions
(12.13.13)
were breached
9. Completely Appropriate Move By The US
andrew ,   New York, USA   (12.13.13)
This was a completely appropriate move by the US. The agreement was not to add NEW sanctions - there was never an agreement not to enforce existing sanctions. What the US did was to enforce existing sanctions. For Iran to walk away only proves that they were never serious about these negotiations in the first place - they just wanted to buy time to continue there nuclear development. Also - as I understand it the 6-month clock has not yet begun.
10. Iran will go nuclear if sanctions are not lifted, means war
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.13.13)
11. #8 - And all those UN resolutions are null and void
spyguy ,   seattle USA   (12.13.13)
The US was only able to get those resolutions against Iran by pledging to Russia and China to play fair. There will be no more UN resolutions and the existing sanctions are going to fall apart and if the US tries to punish China, it will lose everything. China and Russia are sick and tired of the US belligerence and will NOT put up with it any more. This is NOT going to end well for the US.
12. #11 spyguy
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (12.13.13)
Does the commitment to play fair apply only to the USA or also to Iran?
13. Iran will go nuclear if sanctions are lifted, means war
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.13.13)
14. #4 - Well Bibi was correct ..
Michael Redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (12.14.13)
And the US destroying Iran's nuclear site would not become a war because Iran would not be able to attack the US any more than it's trying to right now. Obama just cowed to the Chinese. Please state it very clearly and no wriggling please. Do you support the Obama administrations foreign policy? Sometimes it's necessary to get off of the fence ;-)
15. #7 No new sanctions just enforcing existing ones!
Michael Redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (12.14.13)
