Analysts believe the Group 5+1 should offer a new package of incentives to President Rohani's government in the course of the new round of talks, inclusive of both sides' demands and a chronological chart for both sides' expected steps to be taken, IRNA reported.
According to the IRNA correspondents in Vienna, Bern, Geneva, and Zurich, the European analysts believe the West must distance itself from its sanctions and pressure diplomacy and stop ruining the opportunities for reaching a win-win compromise. According to them, the new package of incentives should be inclusive of the most natural expectations of both sides so that both sides will know what steps they would have to take at which expected times.
| It's like they all read each other's briefing papers... |
The analysts reiterate that for the west, Iran's commitments to cooperate maximally with the IAEA, full transparency in Tehran's nuclear program, and guarantee not to deviate towards military purposes in the future are the matters of great significance. They believe on the other side, the Iranians expect that their right to enrich uranium in accordance with the nuclear NPT and lifting the unjustly imposed economic sanctions would be met, as key points of mutual cooperation.
| Everyone agrees that international law allows the Iranians to use nuclear power for peaceful purposes, IF they submit to proper IAEA inspection and declare all their sources and stockpiles. The problem is that the Iranians don't want to be inspected and don't want to declare anything, because they want the bomb. No amount of "incentives" will change that. |
They propose that the new package of incentives should be inclusive of those four demands of the two sides, while simultaneously efforts aimed at resolving the regional security conflicts, too, should be born in mind.
Zurich-based International affairs analyst, Martin Walker, voicing opposition against the imposed sanctions against Iran reiterates, "The west, and particularly the United States and the EU must have realized by now that the sanctions do not pave the path for purposeful negotiations."
| They do, however, slow down the rush to the bomb... |
| Stuxnet was probably more effective for that. |
He refers to the emerged hopes at the international scene after coming to power of President Hassan Rohani for resolving the Iranian nuclear issue and refers to some political experts viewpoints who believe the nuclear talks must go beyond the nuclear issue to include security issues as well.
| Why would anyone think Rohani is going to be different than Short Round? Both take their marching orders from the Mad Mullahs™, and those jokers haven't gone anywhere... |
The Swiss analyst points out that there probably are negotiations between Tehran and Washington today, noting that Iran, too, like the United States, is one of the serious opponents of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group, and Washington is well aware of this fact, but the US problem in this respect is its unilateral and unlimited support for Israel in Middle East disputes.
| Oh sure, Iran is an opponent of al-Qaeda -- when they aren't funding them and supplying shelter... |
Walker believes in the nuclear file, too, despite the existence of differences of opinion among the different political factions, they are all agreed that Iran's natural right to take peaceful advantage of the nuclear technology should be recognized.
He believes the west will in its upcoming nuclear talks, just like the past, speak about three axes, namely the level of nuclear enrichment, the amount of the thus far enriched uranium, and providing facilities for easy access of the inspectors to Iran's entire nuclear facilities.
Another Swiss political analyst in Bern, Michael Warze, too, advises the EU and the United States to present positive proposals to the new Iranian president.
| Yes, yes, we have to concede everything now... |
He notes that the new Iranian President Hassan Rohani has asked for détente with the world, emphasizing, "Rohani's remarks on moderate approach and lenience are not hollow mottoes; he has thus far spoken very precisely and is after keeping his promises."
| The man doesn't want détente, he wants a hudna. |
