Netanyahu: World must not cave to Iran’s demands

[Jefferson23]

I don't think they hear you any longer, Bibi..thankfully

Israel won’t support any agreement that allows Iran to be a threshold nuclear state, Netanyahu said.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday warned the six world powers, including the US, against caving to Iranian demands to pursue its nuclear program, just so that it can meet a November 24th deadline to conclude a deal with Tehran.

“The international community faces a clear choice,” Netanyahu said. “It can cave to Iranian demands in an agreement that would be dangerous for Israel and the world.”

“Or it can stand firm and insist that Iran dismantle its capacity to produce nuclear weapons,” he said.

Israel won’t support any agreement that allows Iran to be a threshold nuclear state, Netanyahu said.

1. I think this Israeli leader is becoming less relevant with every war-thirsty move he makes.

2. The hypocrisy is rich, considering their arsenal and their sealed lips about it. n/t

3. US, Iran seek nuclear breakthrough in Oman

MUSCAT (AFP) -- US Secretary of State John Kerry arrived Sunday in Oman to seek a breakthrough in nuclear talks with Iran, with domestic pressures weighing heavily on hopes for a deal.

Kerry will meet Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during the day to try to close substantial gaps that have blocked the latest efforts to turn an interim agreement into a comprehensive long-term settlement.

The meeting follows the revelation that US President Barack Obama reportedly wrote to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to push for a nuclear deal, arguing that Iran and the West have shared regional interests.

The apparent reference to the fight against Islamic State group militants in Syria and Iraq, however, was played down by Kerry in Beijing on Saturday, with the US diplomat saying "there is no linkage whatsoever" with the nuclear talks.

4. The more friends we have in the region, the better.

And if we can team up with them against ISIS, so much the better.

Iran is a fairly modern country, which has teetered on the edge of democracy a few times. I suspect the animosity with the US favors the old school government, and is counterproductive for us.

5. Yep, to say the least...agreed. n/t

6. Iran Nuclear Threat 'Five Times' Greater Than Previously Thought

The Iranian regime could have five times more advanced centrifuges capable of producing nuclear weapons-grade uranium than previously thought, according to a report in The Sunday Times.

As world powers prepare for renewed talks with Iran over its nuclear program, and only two weeks before the November 24 deadline to reach a deal, the former deputy head of the International Atomic Energy Association told the paper that while Iran has admitted to possessing 1,008 advanced IR-2m centrifuges, the real number could be as high as 5,000.

Iran "could have up to 4,000 to 5,000 centrifuges or raw materials for them" in locations other than its two major nuclear plants in Natanz and Fordow, where international agencies have focused their attention, said Olli Heinonen.

He said any agreement between the P5+1 powers and Iran should include IAEA access to all other nuclear plants as well, arguing that any other arrangement would "make no sense."

Could explain where he is coming from (considering the source - pressure from his right).
