The chances that the US can induce such limits on Iran are rather small, but that’s something on which the American side is very focused, says Flynt Leverett from the New America Foundation.

Leverett believes that in the long term, most US officials still hold the idea that any negotiated resolution to the nuclear issue will require Iran to suspend its enrichment activities on a long-term basis.

“Some of the American officials are beginning to wise up to the reality that it is just not going to happen as a negotiated outcome, but I think that the American policy is still very slow to catch up to that reality,” Leverett said.

One of the most disgusting demands that the US has regarding the Iranian nuclear programs is the demand that Iran give up its right to enrich uranium and buy it from other nations. Do any of you see a problem with this? I see many. Because if Iran is stupid enough to agree to such a proposal, guess what will happen next? NUCLEAR BLACKMAIL. The US will then prevent any other country from selling any uranium to Iran unless Iran does what the US wants. And until it does, it gets no enriched uranium, rendering their years of hard work and the money spent useless. This is why Iran does not want to give up the right to produce their own uranium. The US is trying to lure Iran into a trap.

USA has almost no leverage on Iran. They are the toothless dog barking right now. The only way they can influence Iran is through military action, but that will justify to the world Iran's response which would not be good for USA. I really suggest USA shut their mouth. They are hypocrites owning a stockpile of nuclear weapons, used the weapons, tested them on people aerial tests, and much more. Soviet Union did their own misdeeds. Why isn't anyone paying attention to Israel? They have them, they aren't signatures to any convention of proliferation or usage. They have engaged in conflicts pretty much endlessly. All nations test missiles. The state, Iran has oil, they don't need nuclear energy is a sniveling attempt at controlling another nation. They don't have many processing stations so they don't make the money they should for that oil, now do they? They also have a right to energy usage that will allow them maximize their profits. I listen to the actions. It is the side that is barking I do not trust.
