Iran has completely rejected a UN-brokered nuclear deal, but US President Barack Obama has postponed the official announcement on Teheran's refusal due to internal political reasons, Israel Radio quoted a senior western official as saying Saturday.

The deal would see most of the Islamic Republic's uranium shipped to Russia and France for further processing.

The official reportedly told journalists in Paris that Iran has also refused to resume nuclear talks with the six world powers.

Some pretty shrewd thinking there, SStorm, especially that last paragraph. I had thought those seizures were a bold step for the Zero. Makes sense.

[hattend]

The man’s disrespect for the office of President knows no bounds.

Get your feet off the table, assh***!

A funny thing happened on the way to Utopia, the road was full of Real Treats from Despotic and Evil people who can’t be reasoned with no matter how gifted the oration?

To bad for America, because they will be the ones who will pay the price from this risky gamble.

Now 0bama OWNS the RAA for what Iran has become, the nuclear bomb they obtain will be his to answer for and only his.

The only thing the Weakling is clenching is his own pathetic tool.

[Baladas]

Yeah, Honduras or any other non-Muslim country or person. Whenever a leftist get frustrated, someone innocent will pay.

[myknowledge]

Doesn’t make any difference.

Iran has been consistent and forthright as to it's intentions and goals.

It is the US, led by Obama, that has been disingenuous and deceitful.

[1066AD]

Israel (specifically, Bibi) will never accept it. ...and they'll take care of biz if need be.

Can they ?
I hope you're right but by all accounts it's a far more demanding task than taking out Osirak.

Obama says Iran has the right to nuclear devices. On the other hand, Obama wants to get rid of the U.S.’s nuclear weapons. Anybody see a pattern here? Maybe a pattern favoring the Muslims?

Mmmmmmmmaybe?

An open challenge to all FReepers, Lurkers, O-Bots and Trolls

[Rutles4Ever]

That’s incredibly astute analysis. It never even dawned on me why they would seize those mosques.

I would perhaps add, that, if the WH has made an internal decision to do this, he’s not going to broadcast it for the liberal mob to go bonkers over. They desperately want him out of Afghanistan - any indication he’s going to war with Iran would cause half of his voting base to slash their wrists in anguish.

I just don’t know what to believe with this guy. But you could be right.

[NurdlyPeon]

I know not many will agree with me on this...

Well I wouldn't go quite that far.

[Mariner]

The Obama will not respond.

No action will be taken...perhaps other than a speech or two at the UN.

[Mariner]

"I know not many will agree with me on this... but here goes: Obama will hit Iran hard, very hard. First, he has been dissed. As President, the military and the USA are now HIS. How dare the Iranians reject him, the ONE. (remember the ego). Secondly, Obama has something to prove. He knows he is viewed as weak. He'll do what most insecure democrat presidents do, start a big war. Third, He needs a distraction from the obvious failure of many of his initiatives and policies (not the unemployment numbers....). Fourth, Iran is the ultimate boogie man. No one likes them. Not even liberal Europe. Not even other Muslim states. He has a green light. Fifth, Israel has told him something that will force his hand. I don't know what it is, but it happened last week. The recent action to start civil seizures of the Iranian controlled mosques and the buildings are a signal. They may be considered launch points for revenge attacks if we strike. The locations were well known for years... and the move now is telling. "

While your logic is otherwise impeccable, it leaves out two other potential factors:

1. Obama is one of them.

2. Obama is a pussy.

That said, I give your scenario a 40-50% probability not because it's the right thing to do, but because it's politically expedient.

I had this vision of Bibi slapping the O and shaking him, a la Don Corleone: “Be a Man!”

[plenipotentiary]

Obumma is a Sunni, not a Shi’ite. Not so difficult to see which way he will go. He visited Saudi and bowed, but not Iran.

[plenipotentiary]

Correction. Obama bowed to Saudi King, don’t think he has visited Saudi.
