Here is an excerpt from the IAEA's latest report on Iran: "The agency remains concerned about the possible existence in Iran of undisclosed nuclear-related activities involving military-related organizations, including activities related to the development of a nuclear payload for a missile". And FYI Israel did NOT sign the NPT. Iran did.
2. Netanyahu must expose the Manchurian in the White House.

Bibi has a valid point. The talks are a waste of time. Most likely Iran is being tutored by the North Koreans, however Bibi is going about this all wrong. He should be selling his government and people on the possibility of an Israeli strike, not the US congress or American people. Obama knows that would be the worlds worst nightmare and the Ayatollahs even though they talk plenty of fart, they fear an Israeli strike.
4. it's very simple....
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (02.22.15)
It's very simple. Obama's "a new beginning" bible is a complete fiasco! So, he tries everything to win points before the end of his term of office with the help of Kerry, his lackey. A New Beginning? Yes, a dark page in the States' history. No wonder that Obama has a very low ranking, compared with other presidents.
5. #3 it's too late
(02.22.15)
Netanyahu always realized a military strike on Iran was close to impossible and required weapons supplies, intelligence, electronic warfare support and most importantly post-attack diplomatic cover from the US. That is why Netanyahu agreed to negotiations with Abbas, release of murderers and a building freeze in Judea and Samaria. Obama played with Netanyahu until Iran hardened or hid their nuclear program to the point that an Israeli attack will be useless. That is what Obama gloated in his "chickensh*t" scandal.
6. Obama wants a political agreement with Shia terror regime
CJK   (02.22.15)
obama is willing to trust this totalitarian genocidal terror regime. the shia terror regime has been participating in the slaughter of syrian civilians, including children. they are airlifting shia fighters from pakistan, afghanistan and iraq to join the battle in aleppo. they are setting up a foreward base on the syrian side of the golan with the intention of slaughtering israelis just as they have slaughtered syrian civilians. iran wants nuclear weapons to further increase its hegemonic ambitions and proxy wars against israel through nuclear terror and nuclear blackmail.
7. Iran preserving means to breakout if USA focus n Ukraine etc
Jeremy Holmes   (02.22.15)
It seems the American Iranian Nuclear bomb containment Foreign policy plan is to try and delay development of of a bomb for ten years in the hope of regime change, even when Iranian Regime negotiating know its a false dawn 36 years since. Secondary hope that the West will manage to monitor nuclear missile programme development before the Iranians can enrich enough Uranium to build a bomb in spite of the historical that the Iranians were conducting secret illicit nuclear enrichment in facilities hidden for many years in Fordow , Fateh1 and other sites . Clearly the US policy relies on a significant element of wishful thinking and naivete to disbelieve concrete evidence of ( undiscovered ) cheating. All it takes is for Ukraine, North Korea, Baltic States or other world crisis for the EU, NATO and USA to take their eye of the ball and concede an own goal.
8. 7 a nuclear Iran cannot be contained
CJK   (02.22.15)
the entire nuclear weapons program of iran is illegal from the very start. iran has been under numerous chapter vii unsc resolutions which enjoin it from all nuclear and ballistic missile activities, and the building of a heavy water(plutonium) reactor. iran is further forbidden from r&d on all nuclear related activities, including weaponisation, nuclear triggers and implosion devices. allowing iran to continue with any nuclear activities, including enrichment, weaponisation, ballistic missile construction, r&d, would violate the entire chapter vii un regiment and gut it from meaning. since neither un sanctions, nor sanctions put in place by the us and its allies have had any effect on iran, it is delusional to think that iran would change its behaviour after sanctions are lifted. indeed, iran's future behaviour can best be predicted based on the shia regime's past and present behaviour. iran is the premier state sponsor of terror in the world. iran's regime is an acopalyctic shia terror egime which has not shown any morality or sense of fear or responsibility to the international order. such a regime cannot be contained.
9. These talks appear more anti-semite than humanitarian
US citizen ,   US   (02.23.15)
When phrases like "political" framework agreement and fundamental "political" outline and agreement are used it appears to me more a diplomatic(/military?) cover for Iran against attack rather than the prevention of Iran getting the bomb.
10. What are the REALISTIC options?
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (02.23.15)
Here are a few things to THINK about (1) Iran will never agree to dismantle their nuclear program - NOT going to happen no matter how much Bibi whines (2) The USA will NOT attack Iran because the US military has already told Obama and the congress critters NO (3) the US has no more direct sanctions they can impose - the congress critters have shot their wad (4) Third-party sanctions ONLY work when the third-parties consent - The existing third-party sanctions are disappearing by the minute (smuggling and money laundering for fun and profit are as old as humans) and most countries will NOT agree to any further third-party sanctions, especially Russia and China. (5) if there is no agreement, the world will simply ignore the USA and Israel (6) If Israel attacks Iran, not even the USA will be able to protect it from massive retaliation from most of the world. The bottom line is Bibi has LOST and by treating Obama so badly, Bibi has endangered the future of Israel. It is time for Israelis to live with a possible nuclear threat just like the people of the USA have done for over 50 years.
