But...but...we're 'Mericans'.Okay, we were the lead principle for this deal, I"m sorry you don't consider us the principle broker, but we are. In My opinion, the other nations were simply along for the photo ops....No, but I am under the impression that we brokered the deal and we are significant stakeholders in this deal. Are you saying that banning US inspectors is not the least bit suspicious?Did you miss it? The US is banned from inspecting Iranian facilities.....But you go ahead and believe (everyone must have some faith after all) that Iran will be getting rid of their weapons grade material. Have you ever heard of P.T. Barnum?
Iran will not accept American inspectors. They will accept inspectors from any country they maintain normal diplomatic relations with.
Are you under the impression that the US is the only other country involved in this deal?
We did not "broker" this deal, we were one of 7 parties involved in the direct negotiations, on behalf the 164 member-states of the IAEA.
Why is it "suspicious" that Iran would not want inspectors from a country that it considers, and is considered by an enemy?
In any case, we have a stakeholder interest in this deal and a right to be included in the inspections. However, why should we even maintain this deal if the other side considers us an enemy?
A bad deal, all the way around.
They get everything they wanted...
We get told to fuck off.....
What could possibly be wrong with it?
We were not the "lead principle" for this deal. I don't know where you're pulling this shit from. We were in no higher a position at the table than any of the P5+1, your "opinion" that they were there for the fun of it notwithstanding.
As for "stakeholders" in the deal, we have less of an active stake it this than hundreds of other IAEA countries who would actually be in theoretical danger should Iran get a bomb.
Your post seems to suffer from a frequently seen issue in this country - the United States is not the center of the Universe, and the rest of the world doesn't revolve around us.
Russia, China, Pakistan, India, England, France, Germany - all of them have more to worry about than us from a nuclear Iran.
