P5 + 1- Iran Nuclear negotiations
Countries involved in the negotiations- P5+1
US-Russia –China-UK –France-Germany
Republicans and some Democrats are pushing for new sanctions in the event the negotiations fail.
The Administration’s stance is that this would be counterproductive the negotiation.
Some point to consider.
If negotiations fail, attacking Iran would only slow the time required to build a bomb.
You cannot put the Genie back in the bottle.
Deal if made must be verifiable – Trust be verify -
If they achieve Nuke capability, other ME countries will/would also acquire the bomb. Saudi’s would buy it from Pakistan. And the world can do what?
Obama and Congress Approach an Impasse on Iran Sanctions - Defense One
A potential showdown is looming between Senate Democrats and the White House over Iran, one that could lead to the first successful veto override of President Obama’s tenure.
BBC News - John Boehner invites Netanyahu to Congress on Iran
Fascinating that Mr Boehner's first act since the State of the Union is to invite Mr Netanyahu to address Congress on the subject of Iran's nuclear ambitions. He doesn't trust Iran, and believes the west is about to make an historic mistake in trusting Tehran to show good faith on the country's nuclear ambitions.
Last night Barack Obama was arguing that negotiations were at a delicate stage with Tehran over a deal. A deal that would be jeopardised, he believes, by Congress voting for tougher sanctions against Iran at this stage.
