Iran: Nuclear Deal Within Reach
Iran says a deal is within reach by November 24.
Click here for reuse options!Mohammad Javad Zarif will hold talks with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and senior European Union envoy Catherine Ashton in Oman on Sunday to try to narrow big gaps before full negotiations formally resume in Vienna on Nov. 18.
The decade-long standoff over Western suspicions that Iran has covertly sought to develop the means to build nuclear weapons – something it denies – has raised the risk of a wider war in the turbulent Middle East.
“No middle solutions exist and all our thoughts are focused on how to reach a settlement,” Abbas Araghchi, the deputy foreign minister and Iran’s chief negotiator, told the state news agency IRNA.
“No one wants to return to the way things were before the Geneva Agreement. That would be too risky a scenario,” he said, referring to the preliminary accord reached a year ago under which Iran has curbed some sensitive nuclear activity in exchange for limited relief from international sanctions.
“Both sides are aware of this, which is why I think a deal is within reach. We are serious and I can see the same resolve on the other side,” Araghchi was quoted by IRNA as saying.

An agreement would be great for us, great for Iran and great for the world. John McCain wouldn’t like it because he’d rather bomb them but who cares what John McCain thinks?

Negotiations have been in the works for over two years.
Let’s watch as republicans take credit for this.
Or perhaps McCain may sing another verse of Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran in his best Beach Boys imitation.

Okay, let’s lay it down… Iran has just as much Freedom to do as they choose for the benefit of their people, yet we seem to throw the monkey wrench at our convenience… Just because I am buying gasoline does not mean I am making molotov cocktails… If the Iranians seek to use nuclear energy for heat and electricity let them do so… It seems we build paranoid illusions of others in like of our own thoughts and agenda… Are you scared of the monster of your own creation??? Are you scared of containment??? Have you ever thought that others are scared of your own forward motion, or are you scared your misdeeds will someday knock at your door as you have done to so many others???
