FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Speaking in a joint press conference with Libyan Prime Minister Abdel Rahim al-Kib, Clinton on Thursday claimed that Iran must interact with the world in order to prove the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.
“It [diplomacy] is obviously coupled with very strong pressure in the form of the toughest sanctions that the international community has ever imposed,” she said.
Clinton, however, stated that despite imposing unprecedented sanctions on Tehran, Washington wants “to begin discussions with Iran.”
“They [Iranians] insist that their nuclear program is purely peaceful and if that’s the case, then openness and transparency, not only with the P5+1 [five permanent members of the Security Council plus Germany] but also with the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] and the Security Council and the international community, is essential,” she said.
“That’s why we want to respond as we did, positively, to the letter that came from the Iranians,” the US secretary of state added.
Clinton was alluding to the letter sent by Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili to EU foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, on February 15. In the letter, Jalili said Iran is ready to restart nuclear negotiations but added that the success of the talks depends on the constructive approach of world powers towards Iranian initiatives.
Jalili’s letter was a response to a letter he had received from Ashton on October 21, 2011, in which the EU foreign policy chief said if Iran was ready to discuss concrete confidence-building measures without preconditions, the P5+1 “would be willing to agree on a next meeting within the coming weeks at a mutually convenient venue.”
Iran and the P5+1 held two rounds of multifaceted talks in Geneva in December 2010 and in the Turkish city of Istanbul in January 2011.
While Tehran says it is ready to continue the talks based on common grounds, it has stressed that it will not give up any of its rights.
