| Swiss (French?) Perfidy To Rescue Iran's Nuclear Program |
| 2007-02-14 |
| (Debka) Our intelligence sources reveal that Monday, Feb. 12, the six-point proposal secret Swiss emissaries delivered to the Iranian government ten days ago was accepted. Its six points are revealed here for the first time: 1. Iran will be allowed to produce a predetermined quota of enriched uranium against its pledge not to exceed this limit or produce it up to weapons grade. 2. International nuclear IAEA inspections will be expanded to encompass nuclear weaponization activity. 3. In return for Tehran’s acceptance of 1.and 2., the IAEA will supply Iran with advanced nuclear technology and Russia will release nuclear fuel rods to power its Bushehr atomic reactor. 4. UN Security Council sanctions against Iran will not be stiffened. 5. The US and Europe will promise to desist from any military attack on Iran. 6. America and Europe will close down their clandestine support programs for Iran’s disaffected minorities, such as the Arabs of Khuzistan and the Kurds. DEBKAfile’s sources report that the Swiss go-betweens were received by aides of former president Hashem Rafsanjani, whose word as one of supreme ruler Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ‘s closest advisers counts for much in the Iranian capital. Those aides, according to Swiss sources, were “more than interested” in the proposal and intimated that if Washington could be won over negotiations could go forward to solve the controversy over Iran’s nuclear program. They also disclose that the Swiss diplomats who brought the proposal to Tehran had also involved themselves in mediation efforts in the past two years to persuade Syrian president Bashar Assad and Hamas leaders in Damascus to agree to talks with Israel. Israel rejected both initiatives. Bush administration officials suspect that the outgoing French president Jacques Chirac is quietly sponsoring the Bern government’s initiative. Our Iranian sources disclose Tehran attaches high hopes to the Swiss plan. The two sides are working on a “non-paper” which European Union’s foreign policy executive Javier Solana will be asked to present in Washington. Chirac would do anything, ANYTHING, to tear the US down in the world. |

| #6 I'm sure the Swiss didn't need any prompting. Mama always said one can get anything in Switzerland, so long as one has the money. (She went to medical school in Geneva for her own amusement -- American med schools only let in those who promise to try to become doctors, you see.) |

| #5 No - they won't do 1 & 2 but we will still be expected to do 5 & 6 (the democrats will see to that). See: Israel's 'cease fire' with the Paleos. |

| #4 Even if made, this agreement isn't worth the "non-paper" it's written on. The ragheads won't keep 1 & 2 so we won't keep 5 & 6, and the Rooskies will do anything for $. No doubt the EUroweenies will keep 4, though. This has France written all over it. |

| #3 So we "promise" not to support anti-Iranian activities anymore. The government can't control the activities of all its' citizens. Especially the really crafty ones. |

| #2 No wonder Iran would support this. This isn't an agreement, its the west surrendering. Europe always manages to find a way to surrender. |
