The United States and Iran secretly engaged in a series of high-level, face-to-face talks over the past year, in a high-stakes diplomatic gamble by the Obama administration that paved the way for the historic deal sealed early Sunday in Geneva aimed at slowing Tehran's nuclear program, The Associated Press has learned.
The discussions were kept hidden even from America's closest friends, including its negotiating partners and Israel, until two months ago, and that may explain how the nuclear accord appeared to come together so quickly after years of stalemate and fierce hostility between Iran and the West.
President Barack Obama personally authorized the talks as part of his effort -- promised in his first inaugural address -- to reach out to a country the State Department designates as the world's most active state sponsor of terrorism.

Highly recommend reading the entire article — many interesting details.
Ping.
Obama even lied to Netanyahu — only told him about some of the meetings with Iran.
” He (Obama) informed Netanyahu only about the two summer meetings, not the March talks...”
Obama to Iran “If you like your nuclear program, you can keep your program”
Wow if we ever needed a stuxnet II, III and IV I’d say right about now would be real good for them to go.
It’s not like we need one for the Obamacare website. I say keep the same people that built it, “fixing” it. It’ll never get built.
Why reduce US nukes, ask Putin to reduce his nukes (no), and give the Ayatollahs nukes?
On the dumbass scale, this is up there with Chamberlin.
Of course we will see military action of a spectacular nature either in, or from, Iran.
Definitely one of the stupidest things the Kenyan could have done with JarJar Binks ValJar calling the shots.
That’s where the side deals were made.
Nobody is that stupid.
Take it from there... to the only other possibility, that it’s deliberate.
according to French TV (pretty reliable),
there are “disagreements as to details” such as “whether the agreement prohibits nuclear enrichment by Iran or not” since “that topic is not specified in the agreement” .. according to the analysis, Obama/Kerry say it is something Iran will have to bargain further for... whereas Iran says that since the agreement does not ban it, they retain their nuclear enrichment program unimpeded.
It appears however that the $4.2 Billion of USA money to be given to Iran, IS part of the agreement. So, we know something came out of all this hooplah...eh?
The “report” is crap.
Why do you say that?
You don’t believe that Obama had pre-discussions with Iran?
I don’t believe the “discussions” were anything but a Quisling-style surrender toward Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Now that you clarified it, I certainly agree.
Secret.............what ever you want we will give you
Thanks for posting. We’ll know who to hold responsible should this deal fall apart.
