1. Iran is just playing for time
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.18.14)
And the West is stupid enough to fall for it.
2. Nuclear Proliferation Near
Zechariah   (02.18.14)
Nuclear Proliferation is near and world Jewry and allies will have to Militirize in another arms race or preemptive war which will explode the area.Worse Case Contingency plans are Vital.
3. Khamenei says no - Rohani says string along
(02.18.14)
That's the official Iranian negotiating position
4. The Divine Timetable
Adam Neira ,   Di Zahav, Egypt   (02.18.14)
Why has the terrestrial chessboard been lined up this way right now ? Looking back from 2050, adopting the messianic perspective, what is the optimal way forward re. the Iran/West imbroglio ? The divinely mandated solution to the Iran-West imbroglio is for a plan to be agreed upon by all parties for the elimination of all nuclear, chemical and biological weapons globally by the year 2025. This track/plan/fulcrum will be the central organising principle under which all nations will act. Agreement with this over arching vision will facilitate the necessary high level trust building moves that will need to be made on the international stage. It also dovetails in nicely with and includes addressing the current Syrian Civil War and Israel/Palestinian question. Think Treaty of Westphalia model for negotiations. i.e. Set Piece/Time Limited meetings plus more open ended discussions. International Peace Conference/Tent of Meeting. First weeks agenda "Syria and Middle East Emergency Polio Vaccination Program 2014" SMEEPVP2014, leading into later meetings to establish the "Committee to Oversee the Elimination of Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Weapons Globally by the Year 2025" COENCB2015. May we live in interesting times...
5. You don't and can't negotiate with EVIL... you destroy it.
Klein ,   Israel   (02.18.14)
Obama would have tried "negotiating" with Hitler while all the time he was burning more Jews every day. WAKE UP world.
6. Why can me, an amateur see thru this?
Israel Watchdog ,   Akko, Israel   (02.18.14)
All these so called policy experts think a regime change will make Iran a horse of a different color. Are they politically correct, stupid or corrupt or what? A nobody like myself can see through the guise of the Iranian ploy with ease. How not them. They want peace so badly that they are willing to concede they're faculties.
7. No Deal - prepĂ„ere for the Strike !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (02.18.14)
8. Amazing how these Iranian monkeys have the world under their
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (02.18.14)
thumbs - threatening that sanctions will harm everyone else but them - don't you get it ? They promise terrorist attacks if there are sanctions. Hutzpa !
9. "little tangible progress until the end of this year"
Michael Redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (02.18.14)
What is this, "end of this year stuff"? Supposed to take 6 months and if not the congress and Senate will impose even harsher sanctions.
10. But no worrys. P5+1 will overcome
DT ,   TA Israel   (02.18.14)
all obstacles lead by Kerry (better known as "Lurch" from the Munsters) :It's called "give Iran all it wants and call it a success"
11. Ashton would have agreement in an instance.
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (02.18.14)
Ashton is leading us into disaster to satisfy her status-seeking ego.Give her a chance and she'll simply surrender to the grinning Zarif and claim it as a victory. The quicker we see the back of Ashton and her anti-western cronies,the better.The EU needs to replace them with tough,hard-headed people who aren't so easily fooled and led by the nose. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
12. Iran's Nuclear Hurdles
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (02.18.14)
Everyone seems to want to forget that Iran and North Korea entered into a collaboration agreement years ago for develop nuclear and missile development. The recent nuclear tests in North Korea, by virtue of the collaboration, can be viewed as Iranian tests, as well as North Korean. Of course, Obama said that the US would not permit Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. Oh, well, the US said that same thing about North Korea, didn't it.
13. #2 - "Nuclear Proliferation" happened over 50 years ago
Spyguy ,   seattle usa   (02.19.14)
In fact most of the globe is targeted by one or more nuclear powers (USA, UK, France, Russia, China, Israel, India, Pakistan, North Korea). With so many countries having nuclear weapons, why freak out so much about MAYBE Iran getting some. At this point in time, it really makes no difference to humanity.
