Iran deal talks on 'pause' after Russia demands relief from sanctions...(Russia upended negotiations)
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/11/2022 | Emily Jacobs

Talks to 'revive the Iran nuclear deal' paused Friday after Russia upended negotiations with a sudden demand for a decrease in sanctions.

Russia, which is serving as a negotiator on behalf of Iran, brought talks to a standstill this week by tying the outcome of the talks to sanctions Moscow is facing.

The top EU negotiator offered no timeline for when the talks, which have been taking place in Vienna, would restart.

The Obama administration brokered the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in 2015. The accord reduced sanctions against Iran in exchange for the country reducing its stockpile of enriched uranium needed to fuel nuclear weapons.

It also capped the fissile purity at which Tehran could refine uranium at 3.67%, but it did not include limitations on delivery systems and other checks on Iran being able to produce a nuclear bomb when the deal expires.

This present deal is nothing but a worse deal that is giving in to every Iranian demand. Biden won’t open up our oil fields, so he needs Iranian oil to drive down the price of gas.

This is what you get when you have weak American leadership.

Iran has not allowed the US in the negotiating room. All the negotiating to give away goodies is being done by Iranophiles, Germany, Frane and UK and enemies Russia and China on our behalf while we are forced to sit at the kiddy table outside the room.

The American public isn’t allowed representation at the table.

But you can bet our Deep State is there. Along with the others, aiding and abetting Iran and Russia.

If anyone believes the Iranians have upheld their end of the deal and stopped enriching weapons grade material? I’ve got a beautiful orange bridge in San Francisco for sale. Let Israel get the ground penetrators ready for the buried facilities.

Ultimately, these Leftist shenanigans with Iran will lead to continuous attacks by the Israelis on the Iranian nuke capabilities. When Iran is ready to get full capability, Israel will have no choice but to do a huge hit on Iran.

Bidens out of the loop in most negotiations on the world stage - nobody wants him around especially his own administration, afraid he'll spill the beans. When he is there it's obvious they carefully monitor him. They prefer he do no more than show up but even then would rather they could just manage without him.

Well they would know. Iranians are not the brightest bulb in the pack to deal with - Putins people know how they work having dealt with them for years.

When I was working with clients in Industrial Parks etc. you had to be able to communicate with various levels of intellect etc. But a few were very difficult because their understanding was limitied....they got in their own way.

Walk away, Biden!

If you aren’t willing to walk away, you aren’t negotiating, you’re begging.

This applies to buying a car as well as negotiating with terrorists.
