U.S.: Time running out for Iran to avoid sanctions

..message for the United States and European powers who shared a desire for Iran to show transparency and cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency. He is pursuing two tracks: on the one hand giving the Iranian bird to threats of sanctions,but just in case you missed the gesture,on the other hand if sanctions proceed another middle finger salute.

It should be signed Barack Hussain Obama.

Dont' worry Ahmadi,(well I know you're not) I am the boss, I'll pretend about the sanctions, not to worry,the Russians and Chinese wont' go for the sanctions. Mohamed (El Baradei , that is) knew how to fool the world, but I'll do it even better ....

The US never learns. It still think that it's this world GOD and is free to threaten people and do whatever it wants. No more honey. It's over! I don't think threatening Iran will do anything. The best is to negotiate and talk with respect as a one-to-one not a top-to-bottom discussion.

What a childish question you asked!! Do your mom and dad know you're up passed your bedtime??? PS-Seriously dude, come back when you've developed more than a few milliliters of Testosterone....

Iran has asked for guarantees that fuel rods will be delivered before agreeing. The self-appointed group demanding compliance refuses to do that. Wonder why.

Whatever hapened to Dr Strangelove ? More seriously, didn't Netanyahu declare in his speech at Bar Ilan University a few week ago, he is all for a two state solution ? and he's been inviting Abou Mazen ever since to meet and make just that : two states, one for the Jews one for the Arabs. Sounds fair to me. If Iran or anyone else does not agree, i'd say to them "mind your own ....... business, I am talking peace directly with my neighbour here....dont' need your help thanks. Good night.

Now what makes you think that Gazan civilians are unarmed? Have you ever been there? Have you ever visited any Gazan homes/ Or do you always blindly believe news media?

It's so obvious. The U.S. is in NO shape to go to war with Iran. Israel wouldn't dare go it alone. (Unlike Gazans civilians, the Iranian army are armed). It's happening. Get over it.

Mind your freakin business Israel. I hate my government for the evil they do to my people, but I hate your government more. You are a threat to the world, not us. We couldnt care less whether you existed or not. but you freaks of nature seem to be the ones who would like "wipe us off the map". I cant wait for the next 20-30 years when the palestinians outnumber you in population (unless of course you havent murdered them all) and you naturally dissapear and no longer exist.

Give Obama a break, after all this is the first real job he has ever had.

You call Iran a just and upright nation? Why don't you go live there? I'm sure they would love to have you. New Jersey and the rest of America will no doubt miss you but we will get over it some how.

Not for Iran but for the West. No sanctions will stop Iran . Whatever is declared will not be carried out. Just like the stoppage of arm supply to Hezballa and The Arm smuggle to Gaza.The same will be to a so called demeletrized Palestinian state.

air pollution, global warming and the rise in the seal level will probably have killed us all. Instead of sending those 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, Obama should be sending them to Iran. Once the ayatollahs are gone, the Taliban won't be far behind.

Ahlan wa-sahlan, ya habibi! India and Israel do not deny the right of other countries to exisr. Iran does. India and Israel are democracies, however flawed. Iran is a theocratic dictatorship that represses or kills its opposition.

From the content of your letter, you are obviously pro-Iranian and most probably Muslim as well. From your English, you are obviously not "Tim". More likely al-Temimi.

Why the White House keeps beating this dead horse is a mystery. The next story down indicates that Russia will not back sanctions in any event. If a person can't do anything, well don't do anything.

You dont need a right to apply them, thats international commerce, anarchy. A case for the WTO, what is it good for anyway?

and now America is repeating the same words to Iran. When will stupid America use those words to stop israeli occupation of the West Bank? Never.israel is always above all laws!

Putin has basically put a stopped to any meaningful sanctions in his statement today. Lieberman announcing that everything is still on the table, and Livni going to see her former employee Sarkozy won't change that. Not to mention whether the UK cut a deal with Iran to get their five citizens back,. Then of course to win in Afghanistan we are going to need Iran's help. Forget it it is over. Iran is going nuclear. Watch Dr Strangeglove, that is the new reality for Israel. Mutually Assured Destruction. Now what about this settlement freeze? and the two state solution?

Iran has all the time in the world and there is nothing the US or anyone else can do about it.

Iran has been running out of time for almost a year now. Do something!

Obama's first deadline was the end of September. Then when that date passed he got more vague. Now it's the end of December. Iran has made a fool out of Obama, and America's allies don't trust him and/opr his word on anything...but the Europeans love him for joining them in thier strategy of appeasement.

Which would just be another waste of time. The clock stopped a while back

Sanctions never work, beside Russia and China will not participate. therefore, in case new sanctions are imposed, these two countries will enjoy more business opportunities with Iran.

Something has to be done to stop western foolishness on the world stage! These constant threats represent western political mafiosos at their most transparent! It's really a joke the amount of scruntiny Iran is facing reguarding it's nuclear program, which hints at racism. The arrogant west with it's wars and long rap sheet of atrocities have the hypocritical nerve to place "demands" on Iran. It's really sickening. On what moral high ground can Germany or the united states or israel stand and place demands on just and upright nations as Iran? Pound for pound, historically theses nations are the most barbarous and wicked! The facade of morality is see through and needs to be checked! Check ya self and not Iran before you reck your self right where you grandstand!

By the way, Obama's offer of an open hand was just some pretty words, from a distance. Did he expect any other outcome than what is actually happening right now? We, of course, didn't. So, wasn't it stupid of him to show such weakness and naivete so early in his game? Let's put it differently: Ahmadinejad, mullahs and sidekicks are continuously threatening Israel and the "West", particularly the US, with words, backed all the time with military exercises, rockets, and, of course, the "enrichment" done without any apparent purpose...now including those ridiculous 10 more enrichment plants! What is the US response to all that? Just the utterly weak threat of sanctions, which Iran anyway declares as silly?

slaves and rulers? this is not a community. many slaves would love to nuke the rulers.

Ahmadinejad struts the worl's stage .mocks the USA,laughs at sanctions ,screams out that he will build 10 more nuclear power stations ,fires off missiles left right and centre ,boasts of Iran's military might and threatens to wipe Israel off the face of the earth ,keeps power by arresting and shooting dead in the streets of Iran ,any Iranian who dare whisper a protest . Obama's limped hand of negotiations is paralyzed ,his policies in tatters for all know that Obama has no backbone ,no real steely determination . The USA needs a Roosevelt or Kennedy ,Obama resign .
