[Ynet] Analysis: If accepted, Tehran's offer to world powers will merely freeze nuclear activity until Khamenei decides to resume itWashington and Jerusalem's initial assessments regarding Tehran's intentions were correct. The partial information coming in following the negotiations in Geneva indicates that the current Iranian leadership is in fact proposing a valid deal on its nuclear program. If in the past it was the five permanent members of the Security Council plus Germany that presented practical outlines for the resolution of the nuclear standoff and Iran stalled for time, now it is the other way around: Iran presented a pragmatic and supposedly fair outline for a deal that will be implemented quickly in three stages. The sanctions succeeded where diplomacy failed.
This is the essence of the Iranian proposal: Within 3-6 months Iran will stop or significantly reduce its activities related to uranium enrichment, which advance it toward obtaining the capability to produce a nuclear weapon in a short period of time. Tehran will also allow tight international supervision that will make certain it is living up to its commitments, in accordance with the agreement. In return, the six world powers will gradually remove the sanctions that are stifling Iran's economy.
