Iran formally responded Tuesday to a package of Western incentives aimed at persuading Tehran to suspend uranium enrichment, with officials saying it has offered a "new formula" to resolve the dispute. The country's top nuclear negotiator said Tehran was ready to enter "serious negotiations." Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, hand-delivered Iran's response to the Western package of nuclear incentives to ambassadors from Britain, China, Russia, France, Germany and Switzerland, state-run television said, without disclosing details.

One side wants to build a nuke, the other side doesn't want that to happen. What is there to negotiate? Half a bomb? |

They'll talk, they'll whine, threaten, cajole, talk more etc but they will NEVER stop until they have nukes. NEVER.

Actually, the answer must have come last week when they destroyed all the satellite dishes. Today they announce to their own that Israel has been defeated completely. They blew them off the map, they will say. The flash of light over Jerusalem was spectacular! Nutjob says the twelfth IMAN has returned and taken possession of his body. Everyone must now bow down and worship him!

If you stay in the bunker for a few more days you should be safe. Your family is safe and currently being held at CTU headquarters with Jack Bauer.

Yikes! Now we have talking televisions quoted as AP sources:
"Iran's response suggests Iran is committed to dialogue and its promises. ... It is in contrast with America's policy of unilateralism," the television said.

If you do not accept this, the Iranian people will force you to bow and surrender. The international community has been bowing and surrendering to Iran for 5+ years now, without so much as a twisted arm.
Now it's over, Iran is a nuke state and we're going to have to live with it as we do with North Korea. The exception is that Iran will be forgiven by many much quicker and sanctions will not even be recognized by some due to need for oil.

If I were them, this is PRECISELY what I would do. It would be about my only option. It is the North Korean Method of Extended, Protracted Negotiations (Process Oriented Diplomacy) all the while conducting scurryingly rapid test of nuke capabilities behind the scenes, digging ever deeper to conduct further tests and activites not readily visible.
