The deadline for a nuclear deal between Iran and western nations is drawing near and Secretary of State John Kerry is still getting shoved in the corner by the likes of Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
There were, according to CBS News, “at times intense” and contentious debates held Saturday as leaders from foreign governments attempted to hammer down the details of an Iranian nuke deal framework agreed upon back in April.“People involved in the talks told The Wall Street Journal that political pressures could still delay or derail a deal as the two sides scramble to flesh out the agreement,” Fox News reports. “While much of the focus has been on the Obama administration’s struggles to prevent Congress from blocking a deal, diplomats told The Journal that growing political pressure in Iran now poses the more significant risk.”
The two major sticking points holding up further progress, according to CBS News, are the economically crippling sanctions on Iran and access from outside inspectors to Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The Obama administration has been long-blamed for wanting to bend over and give the Iranian’s the sanctions relief they want, as fast as they want it.
And as for as accessing Iran’s nuclear facilities for inspection, Iranian’s theocratic dictator and most powerful official Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says “absolutely not.”
It’s as if the world’s dictators see Obama as a weak leader whose promises of reprisal are meaningless.Sadly, their assumptions are too true.
