#1 Looks like the Mullahs want a buffer against the probability of another damaging "walk-in" or "leak" in the future. Look for continuing stall tactics from the Iranians as they fight to avoid the old Reagan "Trust But Verify" pressure the US will insist on!

#2 Yes, however the "trust but verify" Reagan doctrine would would only apply when nuke weaponry is known to already exist.

We are playing the dance of the seven veils here, a proverbial shell game if you like. The EU-3 are playing the flutes and tambourines.

#3 Somehow I believe that the idea is to make the Europeans drag out the negotiation process until the U.S. is ready to intervene. At this time, Iraq needs to be pacified first.

I don't think the Iranians have nukes already, they have at least one or two years to go. If we can delay them even further and Iraq stabilizes, 2006 might spell out the end of the mullahs, after they broke the deal and genuinely pissed off the EU-3.

#4 TGA: What does it take to make the EU-3 "genuinely pissed off"? From this vantage point patience looks like acquiescence.

#5 Or a willingness to sell out Israel for Iranian oil.

#6 Everything coming from Turbanland is designed to buy themselves time. Not even worth reading about the matter. A lotta BS.

#7 In particular, Iran wants to avoid âan automatic triggerâ that could lead to the country being referred to the Security Council if it were found to be in breach of the resolution.

Ooooh, it's the big, bad Security Council!!!!
