FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Baroness Ashton, the EU’s chief foreign affairs representative, will on
Wednesday lead representatives from six world powers – the US, Russia,
China, the UK, France and Germany – in crucial negotiations that could prove
a turning point on the issue.
The so-called “P5+1” grouping are due to meet Iranian representative, Saeed
Jalili, in Baghdad.
Diplomats now expect the talks to yield an Iranian offer to suspend part of
its nuclear programme in return for negotiations on dismantling the UN
sanctions regime that includes the prospect of a US and European-driven oil
embargo. This could include an offer to limit uranium enrichment to 3.5 per
cent.
The hopes of a breakthrough follow two days of preliminary talks between Mr
Amano and Mr Jalili in the Iranian capital.
Speaking as he returned yesterday, Mr Amano said: “The decision was made to
conclude and sign the agreement … At this stage, I can say it will be
signed quite soon.
“We understood each other’s position better.”
The Iranian regime quickly made clear however, that any concessions must be
immediately reciprocated – probably with an agreement “turn down the volume”
on sanctions.
“It is of crucial importance that our cooperation will entail reciprocal
steps, that is, our nation’s trust should be built in the trend of talks and
cooperation,” Mr Jalili said.
The West’s main concern is Iran’s production of uranium enriched to 20 per
cent, which is far higher than needed for regular energy-producing reactors.
The US and its allies fear the higher-enriched uranium could be quickly
boosted to warhead-grade material.
One Western official told The Daily Telegraph on Tuesday night: “The
meaningful issue must be the 20 per cent enriched material – then some sort
of pause on sanctions is not a difficult thing.
“The key thing is what is good enough and what prevents a third party strike
on Iran.”
As part of any agreement, Mr Amano is focused on getting Iran to let UN
experts into high-profile Iranian sites, including the Parchin military
complex southeast of Tehran.
Israel however, warned yesterday of the dangers of Iranian tactics.
“Iran wants to destroy Israel and it is developing nuclear weapons to fulfill
that goal,” Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, said. “Against this
malicious intention, leading world powers need to display determination and
not weakness. They should not make any concessions to Iran.”
Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State, has publicly denied she has eased the
US stance in pursuit of President Barack Obama’s policy of talks with Iran.
It was Mrs Clinton’s husband, Bill, as president who first imposed
restrictions on Iran over its nuclear programme banning companies from
investing in Iranian oil and gas and trading with Iran in 1995.
The net has closed ever tighter with four rounds of UN sanctions between 1996
and 2010 and a raft of bilateral restrictions, including moves by the EU and
US to impose a semi-global oil embargo by the end of June. As Opec’s second
largest producer, Iran’s oil industry has been pitching into chaos by the
embargo.
While fixated on the removal of sanctions, Iranian officials maintain the
country has a legal right to nuclear technology. One diplomat close to the
talks said that the ultimate success of the diplomacy would hinge on
conceding this point to Iran so it can portray the negotiations as a victory
at home.
“It’s a myth the West doesn’t accept their nuclear entitlement but it has be
framed in a way that allows them to claim victory on this as a sweetener to
real concessions,” the diplomat said.
