1. Who is Chickening out to Mr Fox today?
Roland Seener ,   London England   (05.17.10)
2. Who is Brazil, who is Turkey ?
Nora Tel Aviv   (05.17.10)
Both have been bought up by Iran, although in different ways. Turkey enforced its political ego and Brazil its oil supply. And Israel? Israel got its "Back to the Square One".
3. Israel : Don't fall asleep at the wheel....
Mike M. ,   Seattle, Wa.   (05.17.10)
That whole nuclear program of theirs still needs to be bombed into rubble.
4. Hypocrisy and lies.
GeltMeister   (05.17.10)
Israel should give up trying to get the West to attack Iran. What has Iran done? They have signed the NPT, allow all inspections by the IAEA and do not have a weapons program according to all Western intelligence, and the IAEA itself. Of course, the same cannot be said of Israel. The stance Israel takes vis-a-vis Iran makes them look very foolish to the rest of the world outside the media brainwashed peoples of the USA and EU.
5. Awesome diplomatic move!! Israel cornered again...
Ihab ,   Lebanon   (05.17.10)
I believe that this is one of the smartest diplomatic moves ever done by Iran. What are israel's options? - Attacking Iran ? turkey is against this move and will complicate the military act further - USA and the international community are rather embarassed to act since the iranian administration played it smartly. Attacking Iran has become like attacking turkkey and brazil. Who could have predicted ten years ago about the situation of israel today?Thus, is peace a hobby or a must for Israel? in the near future, Israel would beg for peace...wait and see
6. what's there intrest?
Uri   (05.17.10)
we shold ask ourselves what Brazil and Turkey gained from this deal ?!?
7. Brazil and Turkey join those enabling Iran's nuclear project
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (05.17.10)
Uri asks what Brazil and Turkey gained from this deal. For Brazil - more trade, including an opening for its own nuclear technology. For Turkey - a reinforced strategic alignment with Iran, the region's new "strong horse". This is a bad deal. Anyone who thinks Iran only holds 1,200 kg of LEU is kidding themselves. Moreover, there's no indication that Iran will halt its ongoing enrichment, so it'll just make more. And there's no reference to Iran's *plutonium* activities, like those in Arak. This deal is just a means of avoiding any serious action against Iran's nuclear project.
8. #5 Like Lebanon begged In 06 ?
Joe Dempsey ,   Portland, Or   (05.17.10)
Who will ever forget your pathetic prime minister begging for a ceasefire on television ? You will be like little dogs on your hind legs begging Israel to stop, yet once again.
9. hope is fading fast under obama hussein
obama will bring war   (05.17.10)
and, yes, he has brought change indeed. Iran and Brazil read the quivering lip of the Messiah and know he is afraid to act. Obama hussein is Laughing Stock of the world.
10. THE TRAGEDY OF DOUBLE-STANDARD
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.17.10)
As expected,statements of the deal sounding skeptical and time gaining measures by Iran was certainly expected.The game was to make sure that Iran was penalised.That was the whole game.But what about Brazil's and Turkey's intervention?Are these two countries at loggerheads with Washington?No now,but will be so if their good action goes unheeded.
11. Sarkozy from France will be first to sell technology to Iran
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.17.10)
I am sure Sarkozy will immediately look for ways to sell French technology to Iran despite in appearance still not convinced! Iran made a good diplomatic move, involved two important country and many supporters, a good speech UN against Israeli nukes Ball is in your side now and you have to forego your nukes! I think Iran has already hundred tons of enriched uranium and it will be better off when somebody enrich uranium further for them. By the way forgive my lack of knowledge on the enrichment: How will you prevent further enrichment of such uranium bars to make nukes? What if they decide to use such further enriched uranium swaped from abroad to use in developing Nukes?
12. Turks want nuclear Iran
American ,   Los Angeles,US   (05.17.10)
Turkish jihadist are doing everithing posible to help Iran get the nuclear bomb.
13. #8 I and many others remember your army retreating in 2000
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (05.17.10)
In the cover of night. Wow,what a victorious army that was. Given the expansionism you have,had it not been for hezbolla's activities,southern lebanon would have probably had the same faith as the Golan Heights did. At least the lebanese didn't just stand by and watch as you slowly take over.
14. # 8 Joe. Crying on your dieing citizens is NOT pathetic
ace ,   san fran   (05.17.10)
Especially when your country is DRAGGED into a war it never wanted. Remember, my dear Zionist bastard, HA and Iran dragged Lebanon into this war.....
15. #13 Greetings to Haiderland.
Joe Dempsey ,   Portland, Or   (05.17.10)
The IDF is not required to give advance notice of an impending withdrawl, especially in broad daylight, in hostile territory. Only the Arab and Austrian armies conduct operations so haphazardly.
16. Israel and the rest are screwed up by this move, the coming
George ,   Canada   (05.17.10)
days will show who is the real liars here. Skeptical? Off course because this move will remove the mask from their real hidden intention. All these orchestrated political lies and "chantage " against Iran for years by the Zionists and their allies supporter comes to an end now .
17. To No.3, Mike You are absolutely right...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.17.10)
there is nothing more to say...
