Iran's Counter-offer to the U.N.

Iran's top nuclear negotiator Tuesday delivered his country's response to a package of incentives offered by the U.N. Security Council's five permanent members plus Germany in exchange for halting its uranium enrichment program, Iranian media reported.

Iranian TV reported that the response includes an offer to return immediately to serious negotiations on Iran's nuclear program in the coming days, but did not address the sticking point of whether the Islamic republic will put the brakes on its nuclear activities first.

The Associated Press reported that officials said Tehran offered a "new formula" to resolve the dispute. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.

"Iran has provided a comprehensive response to everything said in the Western package. In addition, Iran, in its formal response, has asked some questions to be answered," one official said, without elaborating, according to AP.


Iran offered a "comprehensive response". What was it? No, No, NO!!! And why do I get the feeling that Iran's "new formula" is going to leave the same taste in my mouth as Coke's new formula?

Iran's nuclear weapon's program is a threat to the U.S. and the world. Russia really needs to realize this. If Iran gets the bomb, than Iran can sell it's technology and expertise to Chechneyan Rebels that want to destroy Russia. Russia is looking at the oil, not the big picture. The rest of the world is to become to much of a pacifist to actually act. Its a real problem, and doing nothing is much more dangerous (in the long run) than acting now.
