Finally someone important says what the ‘Iranian nuclear issue’ really is about – Iran’s security:
Russia says "Six" could guarantee Iran security
YEKATERINBURG, Russia (Reuters) – The six powers negotiating with Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment program could offer Tehran security guarantees, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters on Wednesday.
"I think the ‘Six’ could make the following step: directly put concrete offers on the negotiating table, give Iran security guarantees and ensure a more distinguished place in negotiations on the situation in the Middle East," Lavrov said.
…
"I am convinced that this is an effective way of relieving tensions in the region and regulating the situation surrounding Iran’s nuclear problem," Lavrov said.
But of course the U.S. wants ‘regime change’ and has no intention to let Iran live in peace:
U.S. says Iran security pledge not on table in atom row
"Security guarantees are not something we are looking at the moment," White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said in Israel as President George W. Bush launched a Middle East visit.
"As we’ve been saying, details (of the incentive package) are still being worked out and will be presented to the Iranian government soon. The one who needs to give security guarantees is Iran, because they keep threatening to wipe Israel off the map," Johndroe told reporters when asked about Moscow’s idea.
With the U.S. blocking any possibly reasonable offer, the ‘Six’ will of course achieve nothing. Sanctions will be circumvented and new security council action will likely be blocked.
Stalemate until whatever happens.
