I've Been Thinking:
It is now mid-June and only a few days remain before the deadline of the nuclear deal with Iran.
The negotiations are beginning.
Paragraph 3:1of the temporary agreement speaks about Iran scaling down their nuclear operations and granting unfettered access to nuclear facilities. It also speaks about giving early notification about new nuclear sites.
Here is the Iranian response to Paragraph 3:1:
Chief Iranian Negotiator Reza Najafi told reporters in a press conference that -- "These are the issues still under discussion and I believe we should wait to see the final text... and before that, we cannot prejudge anything."
In other words: NO!
In the world of Iranian diplomacy and negotiations, in the world that only they inhabit, the interim temporary agreement is not applicable. It was merely a suggestion and it is a suggestion whose principles they do not agree with and did not agree to.
The deal is no deal and never was a deal.
For the United States unfettered access to Iranian nuclear activities and the scaling down of those activities were to be essential component of any agreement.
But now, who knows? The United States is so worried about placating Iran we have no idea what they will agree to or sign on for.
