Patience of six world powers running out

The six nations have been negotiating with Iran on the basis of providing incentives if it were to agree to their demands, and punitive measures if it did not.
The six world powers pressuring Iran over its nuclear program, say their patience is running out.

On Friday they said they were reviewing their two-track approach to Iran, and will meet to discuss broadening sanctions in order to punish Iran.

The six nations have been negotiating with Iran on the basis of providing incentives if it were to agree to their demands, and punitive measures if it did not.

One difficulty the group has is that Russia and China are not completely willing to go down that track.

One proposal put up by the IAEA which initially was welcomed by Tehran was for its stockpile of enriched uranium to be sent overseas for reprocessing. Iran has since been back-pedalling on the idea.

"This is something the Iranians agreed to in principle," Robert Wood, a spokesman for the U.S. State Department told reporters Friday. "If you remember back in the Geneva meeting they agreed in principle to this proposal that was brought about under the auspices of the IAEA. And since then Iran has had a difficult time saying yes to this proposal. So we're hopeful that Iran will, but should it not, we will obviously take a look at the pressure side of our dual-track approach."

The six nations issued a joint statement after their meeting Friday saying, "We urge Iran to reconsider the opportunity offered by this agreement, and to engage seriously with us in dialogue and negotiations."

Six nations dangle carrot and stick at Iran

Every country should destroy its nuclear weapons arsenal.USA has to do it first,and then Russia,Britain,France,China.

I think that is like asking for too much from these nations.

But please understand that it is always better to live without the fear of a premature,horrific and undignified death.

The problem of 'cheating' scares the hell out of cowards...

..., and then there is Our History!

And on the other side of Our Coin, Power and Domination is the strategy We have embarked on.

How would it look if we became Honest? An admitted Liar! An Admitted Murder! The falacy must continue in order to 'save face'!

Iran must be defeated, and we have had the same story in Iran since Eisenhower did his dirty deal for 40 cent oil! No different than the war making embargo on the Cubans!

We simply cannot admit to the truth!

You can just smell Tel Aviv’s and D.C.'s influence in this dishonest article. All countries should be able to nuke everybody else or no-one should be able to. I would prefer that all nuclear weapons be spaceshipped to the sun. However, as long as the USA and Israel try to use nukes and other weapons to bully the rest of the world into submission, then let’s just make it open season. Whoever’s left can carry on in a less populated and more peaceful world.

Even if the US & Israel attack Iran, Iran will sooner than later have its nuclear weapons and will sooner than later confront Israel through conventional methods. Israel is used to kick Arab ass when and where it may be, but Iran is another story. Iran will bleed israel economically and military, until it will have to face one of two choices, use nuclear and get the same response simply lose all its military gains and go back to the 1948 UN Israel. I am will to bet that Israel will use its nuclear bombs and Iran will respond in kind and the whole world will contaminate, thanks to the USA for helping Israel get nuclear power in the first place, and not having been strong enough to be just to the Palestinians from the beginning.

Iran's nuke program is Iranian's HOPE, 99.9% Iranians think so.

What we see Iran’s missiles development from the short range, middle range and long range, then another test of the Extra long-range; it is very positive that the Iran’s nuke program is Iranian’s HOPE, 99.9% Iranians think so and proud of what their applied Physics science in their country; many many MidEast-Americans in the United States are cheering on the Iran’s nuclear warheads will get done sooner, we DOUBT Iran will give up anything if the Iranians want to survive for another 5,000 years to erase Israel on the map. Just like the Greek’s sports, the Race of the races must go on, of course Israel and blacks must compete with others too.

money for peace

All the billions that have been spent to protect Israel from the terrorist and all the billions that have been spent by the terrorists will never bring about security. It would have been cheaper if both the US and the Arabs gave every man women and child in Isreal 5 million dollars a piece just to leave Israel. Why not do this now and save billions of future dollars. Then if the Muslims continue to threaten the world just nuke them all.
