Iran’s Top Leader Signals That Nuclear Talks Will Resume Despite Natanz Sabotage

[Allan]

Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear enrichment facility sent a strong message - Iran will never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. Now that that restriction has been made clear with a big stick it's time for the carrot. Sit down with Iran and negotiate an agreement that benefits both them and the rest of the world.

Hassan Rouhani is intelligent and comparatively moderate. He's the man to work with to get an agreement done.

Iran’s top leader said on Wednesday that his country would keep negotiating with world powers over how to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal, quashing speculation that Iran’s delegation would boycott or quit participating in protest of the apparent Israeli sabotage of a major uranium enrichment site.

The declaration by the top leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the last word on security matters in the country of 80 million, came three days after an explosive blast at the Natanz enrichment site plunged the heavily guarded facility into a blackout and disabled or destroyed hundreds of underground centrifuges used to process uranium into fuel.

Suspicion over the destruction immediately fell on Israel, which has sabotaged the Natanz site before. Israel neither confirmed nor denied the accusation, but intelligence officials said it was a clandestine Israeli operation.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm, they are already developing nuclear weapons and the JCPOA allowed Iran to have nuclear weapons. That's why Trump was against it. Nice to know that you trust Iran's word though.

the JCPOA allowed Iran to have nuclear weapons.

It did not, and that was verified independently by the organizations tasked with verification.

The JCPOA allowed Iran to have nuclear weapons 10 years after the agreement.

So you renew it. In the meantime they can't develop them.

LOL.. Yeah, that's what Iran had in mind, renew it. Boy are you guys really gullible. First, it took Russia and China to be part of the first agreement, something that probably wasn't going to happen again (especially since Biden is not on a friendly basis with either Russia or China) and it also took bribes to Iran out the wazoo, including the US personally delivering billions of dollars in cash right to their doorstep. It was also the result of several years of crippling sanctions, which would have have to have been restarted all over again. Did it ever even occur to you that the 10 years is about already up?
