France says Iran comments on Israel complicate nuke talks

Khamenei calls Israel ‘rabid dog,’ drawing harsh response from Paris as new round of negotiations begins

PARIS — The French government spokeswoman says President Francois Hollande believes comments by Iran’s supreme leader about Israel are “unacceptable” and complicate talks between world powers and the Islamic regime over its nuclear program.French government spokeswoman Najat Vallaud-Belkacem told reporters that Hollande’s cabinet discussed the Iran nuclear dossier just hours before negotiations between Iran and six world powers were set to resume in Geneva.She said, however, that France still hopes for a deal and its position has not changed in the talks.Hollande was referring to comments attributed earlier to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speaking to a gathering of the Basij force, which is controlled by Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard.In them, the Iranian leader referred to Israel — “the Zionist regime” — as “the rabid dog of the region.”Speaking to some 50,000 members of the paramilitary volunteer militia, Khamenei also said Israel was ripe for collapse.“The (Israeli) Zionist regime is a regime whose pillars are extremely shaky and is doomed to collapse,” he said, according to French news agency AFP. “Any phenomenon that is created by force cannot endure.”British Foreign Minister William Hague said Wednesday that an agreement with Iran was attainable, and added that signing such a deal would be in the best interest of countries throughout the Middle East.“The differences that remain between the parties are narrow and I believe they can be bridged with political will and commitment,” Hague said during a visit to Istanbul.“It is the best chance for a long time to make progress on one of the gravest problems in foreign policy.”Hague declined to comment on Khamenei’s statements, and called instead to focus on the “substance” of the talks.

Drifting from US, Liberman calls to diversify foreign policy

With Washington embroiled in its own problems, Israel must seek new partnerships, foreign minister says

Israel needs to concentrate less on its relations with the US, and diversify its foreign partnerships, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said Wednesday.“For many years, Israel’s foreign policy has been one-directional toward Washington,” he said, speaking at the Sderot Conference for Society. “I support multi-directional foreign policy.”Israel’s foreign policy “should not focus solely on the United States,” he added, according to Army Radio.Liberman, who returned to his post last week after a long legal battle, went on to note that the US was busy with its own problems such as Iran and North Korea, and domestically, its economy and immigration.He said Israel must have clear policies for initiating new foreign ties. “There needs to be a clear concept how to act in this instance,” the foreign minister remarked. “We must first of all look to have relationships with countries that do not need financial assistance, that don’t have problems in the international arena, and don’t depend on the Islamic-Arabic world. Countries that are looking for knowledge in agriculture and other areas. Our foreign policy needs to be diverse.”The comments marked a change of emphasis by Liberman who, just last week, chastised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for engaging in a public spat with US Secretary of State John Kerry over nuclear talks with Iran.“We need to understand that relations with US are foundations set in stone; without them we can’t maneuver in the contemporary world,” Liberman said then. “All these differences of opinion, which are natural and have always existed, should simply not be aired as publicly as they were. I think a step to calm them is important, and we will already start dealing with this tomorrow.”Israel and the US have been at odds over a preliminary deal with Iran that would partially freeze its rogue nuclear program while easing some of the sanctions the US and other countries have placed on Tehran. At the center of the dispute is Iran’s uranium enrichment program, which Israel is demanding be dismantled before Iran gets any relief from sanctions, and the heavy water plant being built at Arak, which the interim terms may allow Iran to continue to work on.Netanyhu has repeatedly called the deal “bad” and “dangerous,” and urged the P5+1 nations not to sign it.

Obama unsure if Iran deal will happen this week

Iranian FM accuses Israel of trying to ‘torpedo’ a potential agreement in Geneva

By Times of Israel staff and AP November 20, 2013, 4:45 am 0

US President Barack Obama expressed some doubt Tuesday about whether an interim deal could be reached quickly with Iran over its nuclear program, but he urged for time to let diplomatic efforts run their course.“I don’t know if we’ll be able to close a deal this week or next week; we have been very firm with the Iranians even on the interim deal about what we expect,” he told a conference in Washington, hours after meeting with top senators.“Part of the reason I have confidence that the sanctions don’t fall apart is because we’re not doing anything around the most powerful sanctions,” Obama said at the event, which was sponsored by The Wall Street Journal.On the eve of new talks, Obama is plunging ahead in search of a nuclear agreement with Iran despite outright opposition from American allies in the Middle East and deep skepticism, if not open hostility, from Congress.Iran is pressing ahead in its own way, trying to make a deal more likely to ease painful economic sanctions without losing its own hardliners at home.But speaking to reporters in Rome while en route to the negotiations, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif accused Israel of trying to “torpedo” a possible agreement. Israel has been vociferously critical of what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has termed a “bad deal” emerging from a new round of talks in Geneva.

Yet most signs seemed to be pointing to a deal coming together before or over the weekend.As negotiators from Iran, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany prepared for Wednesday’s meeting, British Prime Minister David Cameron contacted Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in the first such conversation between the leaders of the two countries in more than a decade.Cameron’s office said the leaders agreed during their telephone conversation that significant progress had been made in recent talks and that it was important to “seize the opportunity” in this week’s new negotiations.Obama’s willingness to embrace a pact that falls short of Security Council demands for Iran to halt uranium enrichment has pushed his administration’s already contentious relationship with Israel to the brink, strained ties with Gulf Arab states and exacerbated tensions with Democratic and Republican lawmakers.Although everyone claims to have to same goal — preventing Iran from developing atomic weapons — the rancorous, public disagreement over how to achieve it has driven a wedge between the administration and those who the administration insists will benefit most from a deal.Opponents say Iran is getting too much in the way of sanctions relief for too little in the way of concessions. And, they argue, Iran just can’t be trusted. Obama and his national security team counter that the risk is worth taking. The alternative, they say, is a path to war that no one wants.In the run-up to the new talks, Rouhani conceded a longstanding demand that Iran’s right to enrich uranium must be recognized in any deal, and that incited opposition from hardliners in the his country.Obama, along with Secretary of State John Kerry and National Security Adviser Susan Rice, personally appealed to senators in a White House meeting to hold off on seeking additional sanctions in order to test Iran’s seriousness in addressing concerns it is trying to develop nuclear weapons.“We have the opportunity to halt the progress of the Iranian program and roll it back in key respects, while testing whether a comprehensive resolution can be achieved,” the White House said in a statement after the two-hour meeting Tuesday. It said if there is not an initial agreement, Iran will keep making progress on increasing enrichment capacity, growing its stockpiles of enriched uranium, installing new centrifuges and developing a plutonium reactor in the city of Arak.White House press secretary Jay Carney said Obama told the senators that new sanctions would be most effective as a consequence if Iran refused to accept the deal now on the table or agreed and then failed to comply. And the president rejected reports that Iran would receive $40 billion or $50 billion in sanctions relief.Rice said Tuesday in an interview with CNN that sanctions relief would not exceed $10 billion.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who spoke to Obama last week, used a procedural maneuver on Monday to control amendments to a defense bill, including those for Iran sanctions. However, a group of Republican senators introduced an amendment that would keep penalties in place, and toughen them, unless Iran freezes its nuclear program completely.Led by Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., the senators called Obama’s plan a “well-intentioned but deeply naive diplomatic strategy” that “is doomed to fail.”“This proposal will give our diplomats the increased leverage they need to get a good deal at the negotiating table — a deal that peacefully brings Iran into full compliance with its international obligations,” Kirk said.The amendment is not likely to be voted on until after Thanksgiving, which gives the U.S. negotiating team in Geneva some flexibility. But, if adopted, it would complicate negotiations for a final deal with Iran.Separately, a bipartisan group of six senators — Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; Robert Menendez, D-N.J.; John McCain, R-Ariz.; Bob Casey, D-Pa., and Susan Collins, R-Maine — wrote to Kerry warning against an agreement that they believe is flawed.“We are concerned that the interim agreement would require us to make significant concessions before we see Iran demonstrably commit to moving away from developing a nuclear weapons capability,” the senators wrote. “We feel strongly that any easing of sanctions along the lines that (the negotiators are) reportedly considering should require Iran to roll back its nuclear program more significantly than now envisioned.”Foreign Minister Zarif’s public dropping of Iran’s insistence that the six world powers acknowledge his nation’s right to enrich uranium opens a way to sidestep that dispute and focus on more practical steps both sides can agree on.Tehran’s right of enrichment remains “nonnegotiable,” Zarif was quoted as saying by the semi-official ISNA news agency on Sunday. “But (we) see no necessity for its recognition as a right.”On Tuesday, Zarif used YouTube to urge world powers to choose the “way forward” toward a nuclear deal. He also said his country’s atomic program was a centerpiece of its future energy policies and a source of national dignity.’“We expect and demand respect for our dignity,” Zarif said in a measured voice on the video, which opened with soothing piano notes. “For us Iranians, nuclear energy is not about joining a club or threatening others. Nuclear energy is about a leap, a jump toward deciding our own destiny rather than allowing others to decide for us.”

Enrichment is a crucial issue because it can be used both to make reactor fuel and to arm nuclear missiles. Iran argues it is enriching only for power and scientific and medical purposes. And it says it has no interest in nuclear arms. But Washington and its allies point to Tehran’s earlier efforts to hide enrichment and allege it worked on developing such weapons.Even if squabbling over the right to enrich is put aside for now, other differences may remain in the way to an initial agreement that freezes Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for some relief of sanctions crippling Tehran’s economy.As a first step, the six want limits on Iran’s overall capacity to enrich and a total stop to enrichment at a level that might be used to produce weapons-grade uranium much more quickly. They also seek more rigorous international monitoring of Iran’s nuclear facilities and some formula that eases international concerns about a reactor now under construction that will produce plutonium, which also can be used to arm a nuclear bomb.Reflecting deepening rifts in Tehran, the semiofficial Mehr news agency said Tuesday that some Iranian parliamentarians are working to block the government from agreeing to such concessions. And hundreds of Iranians, including university students and members of the country’s Jewish community rallied Tuesday in support of the country’s nuclear program.
