It appears the Ruling Thugs are not interested in negotiations. Now the West will increase sanctions, and ensure they are tighter than before.
A lot like poking a stick at an animal, the West should have their collective pee-pees slapped wit a big stick. So the West can provoke Iran endlessly over something that already had their approval. No wonder Iran kicked their asses out.
Eventually Iran in my opinion will make a major strategic error as the tensions are high, the Rev Guard has many hardliners that would prefer a war. So whether by hook or by crook, escalation up to war is more possible.
And you know what the 'hardliners' want how? Seems like the war with Iraq was their last war and it was totally defensive including Iran being the one to not start the war. How many million has the West killed since the Iran?Iraq war ended, 5 mil maybe, I'm counting 1M babies in Iraq during UN sanctions.

alrighty comrades
But the Iranian Military is not as controlled and highly disciplined as the US Military.
So the role of the Military is to wage wars rather than being there as a prevention to war. I think a whole lot of taxpayers are going to want a refund.
Wars Iran has fought in during the last 60 years. Iran/Iraq war and they were attacked.
Elections are coming soon in Iran, unemplyment is sky high, inflation is rampant, goods are scarce, the middle class business are going broke. Clearly the Thugs will be out for the voting followed by coercion and killings, arrests. Then the people will demonstrate, be labeled enemies of Islam and Murdered in the streets, mass arrests late at night followed by show trials.
All the condition the West wanted to burden Iran with, you seem surprised, do you not remember the Iraq sanction program, name one thing you listed that wasn't affected by sanctions.
Elections on March 2 are expected to be won by supporters of Khamenei, an implacable enemy of the West.
It would seem the West should want to keep the existing Government in control before the ones who don't like the West take over. You statement could be akin to the Pope guiding the Herper program.
