#1 Iran: Sanctions must end before talks resume

That's an admission that the sanctions are Pinching.

OK, No talks then.

#2 Did we even ask for talks?
I think they are laboring under a false apprehension at this point.

#3 How about concessions first and then talks begin? Show good ~~faith~~ will and behaviors first; stop nuclear arms development, quit exporting violence in the region. In other words quit being a$$holes.

#4 That's an admission that the sanctions are Pinching.

Possibly and likely. It's also an honor issue. Want to really upset them? Treat them as if they weren't worthy to sit at the grown-up-nations' table.

That Tehran is upset that the matter is being handled at the UNSC level (as if they were the NorKs), instead of the IAEA like the "real nations" would be, is a good thing.

Did we even ask for talks?

The Europeans did. Guess they're playing the role as the 'reasonable ones'.
