Fresh Iran nuclear talks agreed with world powers, Iran gives access to Parachin. - Polidicks

[QUOTE] [IMG]http://www.critiqueecho.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Iran-nuclear-facility.jpg[/IMG] Six major world powers and Iran are to hold fresh talks on Tehran's nuclear programme, the EU has said. EU foreign policy head Catherine Ashton said she had replied to a letter from Iran on behalf of the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany. Iranian negotiator Saeed Jalili sent the letter last month proposing talks. No date or venue has been set. The move comes amid fresh speculation of a pre-emptive military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. Iran insists there is no military element to its programme but Western powers fear it is constructing nuclear weapons. US President Barack Obama told a news conference in Washington DC that he believed there was still a "window of opportunity" to use diplomacy to resolve the standoff with Tehran. He said there was no need to make a choice in the next fews weeks or months on whether to use military means to stop Iran building nuclear weapons. [B]Parchin access[/B] The statement from Baroness Ashton said the EU hoped that Iran would "now enter into a sustained process of constructive dialogue which will deliver real progress in resolving the international community's long-standing concerns on its nuclear programme." It added: "Our overall goal remains a comprehensive negotiated, long-term solution which restores international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear programme." UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement that Iran had to "convince the international community that its nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful". "Until those actions are taken we will not ease the international pressure on Iran." Iran had earlier said it was prepared under certain conditions to grant inspectors from the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) access to the key military site of Parchin. The complex, south of Tehran, is dedicated to the research, and the development and production of ammunition, rockets and explosives. IAEA inspectors wanted to visit last month to clarify the "possible military dimensions" of Iran's nuclear programme, but were denied entry. But on Monday, Iran's mission to the IAEA said if the UN agency "combined all related issues" then "once more, access would be granted". Talks between the EU and Iran on the nuclear issue have been off and on for a number of years, with the last round ending in failure in January last year. Baroness Ashton had written to Mr Jalili last October with an offer of new talks. In February, Mr Jalili wrote back that Iran was ready for dialogue on what he called a spectrum of issues. He said he welcomed the P5+1's affirmation that it would respect Iran's right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy. "No doubt that by committing to this approach, our talks for cooperation based on step-by-step principles and reciprocity on Iran's nuclear issues could be commenced," he wrote. On Monday, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, on a visit to the US, said time was running out to put a stop to Iran's nuclear programme, warning Israel would "not live in the shadow of annihilation". He stressed that all options were on the table, but that containment - leaving Iran to develop its programme under monitoring - was "not an option". On Tuesday, US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta said: "Military action is the last alternative when all else fails. But make no mistake, we will act if we have to."[/QUOTE] Link - [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17274364[/url] I hope this REALLY eases tensions.

My question is, if they really just want civilian nuclear power, why the fuck didn't they just open up all facilities in the first place?

I want to work at that place, those slippers look great.

[QUOTE=mac338;35026125]Avoid tensions and remove sanctions?[/QUOTE] And cops should be able to enter your house whenever they please; you know, to avoid tensions. I can think of a lot of reasons why they wouldn't want anyone inspecting their facilities.

[QUOTE=mac338;35026125]Avoid tensions and remove sanctions?[/QUOTE] Can you imagine if some other large nation like Russia or China asked the same thing of the US? Say, the Russian government wants to bring UN inspectors to have a look at Area 51? Surely they should be let in, you know to avoid tensions?

[QUOTE=Master X;35026305]And cops should be able to enter your house whenever they please; you know, to avoid tensions.

This is the same path that any country wanting nuclear power has to take: they're inspected by the international community and when everything's in order they're given the green light.

[QUOTE=Auth;35029118][b]Area 51 is a aerospace test sight,[/b] United States is already a nuclear power and the Russians have probably infiltrated it by now.[/QUOTE] How are we supposed to know that though? Should we take them by their word?

[QUOTE=Cuon Alpinus;35029279]Except the country is surrounded by unstable as fuck conflicts, and Iran isn't exactly at the epitome of stability either.[/QUOTE] And we're bordered by the incredibly unstable Mexico, what's your point?

[QUOTE=Megafan;35030858]And we're bordered by the incredibly unstable Mexico, what's your point?[/QUOTE] Iran takes sides in those conflicts. Mexico is using its military against cartels. There is a large difference.

[QUOTE=Auth;35030924]Iran takes sides in those conflicts. Mexico is using its military against cartels. There is a large difference.[/QUOTE] The cartels are not 'a side'? The US takes sides in conflicts all the time, just look at Israel-Palestine or Korea.

[QUOTE=Megafan;35030943]The cartels are not 'a side'? The US takes sides in conflicts all the time, just look at Israel-Palestine or Korea.[/QUOTE] What the fuck? Drug cartel is not Islamist militant. Us isn't engrouped by conflict and definitely isnt supporting cartels. What are you even saying.

[QUOTE=Auth;35030972]What the fuck? Drug cartel is not Islamist militant. Us isn't engrouped by conflict and definitely isnt supporting cartels.

The US takes sides in conflicts, and is bordered by an area of conflict. Simply because they aren't religious extremists doesn't change the fact that they are currently an unstable area.

I never made any criteria Iran is run by extremists.

Good. Maybe now the Israeli's will back off a little, and the West will follow. I really don't feel like going to some hot desert to get my ass shot off my crazy people.

[QUOTE=Auth;35031040]North america isn't unstable. I never made any criteria Iran is run by extremists.[/QUOTE] So when Santorum gets elected and given the research that says that that 70-80% of our country is Christian, we should then let Russia check out Area 51?

[QUOTE=Auth;35031040]North america isn't unstable. I never made any criteria Iran is run by extremists.[/QUOTE] Iran deserves nuclear weapons so it can defend itself from American threats and have a bigger voice on the world stage.

[QUOTE=Best4bond;35031640]Iran deserves nuclear weapons so it can defend itself from American threats and have a bigger voice on the world stage.[/QUOTE] Iran does not because it will turn the middle east into a cold war.

[QUOTE=Auth;35031694]Iran does not because it will turn the middle east into a cold war.[/QUOTE] Where do you get this shit from? Niether you nor Fox News can predict the future.

[QUOTE=Sickle;35031739]Where do you get this shit from? Niether you nor Fox News can predict the future.[/QUOTE] Because if Iran gets nukes Saudi arabia is going to want nukes and so on.

[QUOTE=Auth;35031780]Because if Iran gets nukes Saudi arabia is going to want nukes and so on.[/QUOTE] There you go again, turning the air brown. Has Israel's blatant possession of nukes cause a cold war in the entire region.

Why would one of the worlds biggest oil countrys that most likely cares little for their enviroment want nuclear power.

[QUOTE=Auth;35031780]Because if Iran gets nukes Saudi arabia is going to want nukes and so on.[/QUOTE] So Israel shouldnt have nuclear weapons?
