Nuclear talks failures have always been due to:
IRI's greed and political misunderstanding. Simply they are not qualified to run Iran,
brother Assadollah.
None of above. The past failures and present success of nuclear talks is because USA , until recently never had a Muslem president. Brother Obama, as a Muslem, knows very well what gets a mullah (that includes mullahs without turbans, like zarif!), bending down on that negotiating table begging for mercy :
Large stick to frighten them (Threat of military attack), and deprive them of money (sanctions).
Dear Amirkabir and Seyed Javad,
Thanks for your alternate explanations, both of which are plausible.
Here's why a deal has not happened, and is not likely to happen unless the IR goes broke (which it is realizing now that it will): the Islamic Republic is still a "revolutionary" regime. It's made up of gun toting thugs, flag burners and plane hijackers, albeit these days, due to old age and the financial benefits that they have reaped, they're sitting in nice offices and are wearing suits. The mentality hasn't changed though. Zarif is the same person who was screaming atop his lungs for his beloved Palestine in the 1970's while he was a student in the U.S. (probably on Shah's dime too). The word "agreement" does not have a placein these guys' dictionary. Their modus operenadi is blowing things up, waving fists in the air, shouting profanities at this or that country or group of people, coming up with conspiracy theories, planting bombs, blowing up things, taking hostages and hijacking planes. That is what they know best. Look at how well they're doing in Iraq and Syria. It's because they're in their element there: war, chaos, carnage and bombings. Now the world expects these revolutionary Neanderthals to actually sit behind a table and sign a civilized document? Are you kidding me?!!
History of the world has shown us that it takes a minimum of two-three generations for revolutionary regimes to change. The same happened in China and the Soviet Union. The old, revolutionary guard that is still in charge needs to grow old, retire and / or die for the regime to gain a paradigm shift. It's just way to early for Iran. There has only been one post-revolution generation. The old "arbadeh-kesh" class is still in charge, the executioners, the thugs, the hostage takers, etc...Iran needs at least another 30-50 years to see a substantive change.
Now, with all that in mind, is an agreement impossible? No, because the IR is going broke and it needs money to survive. Their economic backbone--the bazaaris--are having a tough time, and they need money. So, ultimately, the IR may submit, under these circumstances, to some sort of a limited agreement where they can amass a little money to give their revolutionary ideas another lease on life. But it won't last long, because the IR--for the reaons mentioned above--will cheat and lie again, will get caught again, and we will be back to sqaure one.
Dear AO, ghorbooneh een harfet. I wish I had written that comment, but all credit goes to you, my friend.
Well said AO. I also think they submit and have already decided to do so. They just want to pretend that they are resisting and negotiating in order to claim that their total defeat has been some sort of victory.
Bravo AO , could not have siad it better myself.
Thank you all. I was just stating the obvious.
Well said AO jaan and right on!
