Of Course , Did anyone really expect Iran to Come through with a Response ?
Really , it is obvious that Iran Wants to play a game , and at this point The U.S. Russia , And France should pull back from talks and pound Iran to smithereans with sanctions that would cripple them In every way Possible !
Quit Messin Around !
Washington - Is Iran doing its customary diplomatic haggling – or preparing to slam the door on the international community?
By balking at a Friday deadline for a decision on a plan to move much of its enriched-uranium stockpile out of the country, Iran may be playing for better terms in a deal it will ultimately accept.
But by standing up the three world powers – the United States, Russia, and France – that had already accepted the deal negotiated with Iranian officials earlier this week, Iran may be unwittingly laying the groundwork for tougher international sanctions aimed at its nuclear program.
Although Iran did send some promising indications Friday, it also said it needs until the middle of next week to respond to the deal. In the plan, about three-quarters of Iran's low-enriched uranium would be shipped to Russia, and then France, for further enrichment into a form Iran could use in a Tehran research reactor.
The Obama administration supports the deal because it would substantially cut Iran's enriched-uranium stockpile – opening perhaps a year-long window of opportunity for negotiating with Iran to prevent it from building a nuclear bomb.
Tehran's play for additional time is no surprise, especially when Iran's leaders are dealing with so many opposing forces at home, some experts in US-Iranian relations say.
"It's like what you have at a rug bazaar. That's the haggling, the offering, and counteroffering that's going on right now," says Fariborz Ghadar, an Iran expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "Especially with all the other things [the Iranian leaders] have going on [politically], the last thing they want are additional problems internationally."
The US said Friday that it could wait until next week for a formal response from Tehran, although it views the issue "with a sense of urgency."
"We hope that they will next week provide a positive response," said State Department spokesman Ian Kelly.
Yes we all hope Iran Pulls it's head out of it's Ass !
But if we wait much longer , we will be Haggling and bartering with Real Nukes , And a nuclear counter offer does not sound good!
