Surprisingly, something has happened in this endless and boring decade long Iran drama situation. Iran has agree to halt work on uranium enrichment, with the US agreeing to give back a ‘portion’ of the cash they stole, and ease ‘sanctions’ to lighten the starvation of the Persian people.

ABC reports:

Secretary of State John Kerry and leaders from five other world powers early Sunday reached a nuclear deal with Iran, following intense negotiations that took place over several days in Geneva.

The deal represents a historic breakthrough in the world’s decade-long nuclear standoff with Iran, and in the 35-year-long diplomatic freeze between Iran and the United States.

The deal was struck with astonishing speed given the history of failed negotiations, coming in just the third round of talks over less than two months. The breakthrough also comes less than three months after Iran’s new President Hassan Rouhani promised, in an interview with NBC News, to dramatically alter Iran’s relationship with the world.

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton said the agreement was an important step toward reaching a long-term comprehensive solution. She added that the deal shows participants’ “mutual respect and determination to find a way forward which is beneficial to all.”

At a news conference, Kerry said the agreement could not have been reached without the Iranians’ decision to come to the negotiating table. He said the next phase of negotiations – while even more difficult – will also be more consequential, and he added: “If this first step leads to what is our ultimate goal – which is a comprehensive agreement – that will make the world safer.”

Iran and six of the world’s powers – the United States, France, Britain, Germany, China and Russia – agreed on a “first step deal” that is meant to limit advancements in Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for easing some of the economic sanctions that have deeply hurt Iran’s economy.

According to the White House, the deal stipulates that Iran will commit to halt uranium enrichment above 5 percent and also to neutralize its stockpile of near-20 percent enriched uranium. The Islamic Republic has also committed to halt progress on its enrichment capacity. Iran will also halt work at its plutonium reactor and provide access to nuclear inspectors.

These steps, President Barack Obama said late Saturday, will “cut off Iran’s most likely paths to a bomb.”

In exchange, the United States and its allies have agreed to offer Iran “modest relief” from economic sanctions and access to a portion of the revenue that the country has been denied through these sanctions. No new sanctions will be imposed, Obama said.

This is probably some type of fake-out. I cannot imagine that Bibi is happy with this, as it is clear that nothing other than war is going to satisfy these Jews, and Israel has already gotten repeated confirmations that if they start a war, the US will join, so they don’t really have a reason not to start a war, unless they genuinely believe the Shiites will be able to retaliate in some significant manner (though any retaliation would give Israel more excuses, so I don’t see why that would bother them all too much either).

We might also note that Iran was facing a very real threat of revolution from their own people – the youth of the country has been entirely corrupted by Jew porno-culture – which probably played the biggest part in getting them to agree to this deal.

You can read the details of the agreement in the White House press release. It really is a starving man selling his family for a piece of bread. Or, at least it appears to be that.

Iran and world powers expect to announce an initial deal as early as Friday to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for an easing of sanctions, a step that would mark the first breakthrough in a decade to blunt the threat of Tehran developing nuclear weapons.

Secretary of State John Kerry and French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius are traveling to Geneva Friday to complete the deal. President Barack Obama described the emerging agreement Thursday in an interview with NBC News, saying that if Iran doesn’t live up to its end, “we can crank that dial back up” on sanctions.

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Mr. Kerry will head to Geneva “in an effort to help narrow the differences in negotiations” between Iran and six major powers.

The two sides were jointly preparing a draft agreement ahead of a likely announcement, said Iranian and Western officials, although the plan could still unravel. The White House already faces major opposition both from its allies in the Middle East and members of Congress. Israel, in particular, has been deeply skeptical.

Mr. Kerry is flying to Geneva from Israel where he had met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who slammed the negotiations with Iran Friday, saying the agreement being negotiated “is a very bad deal.”

“They wanted relief of sanctions after years of a grueling sanctions regime. They are paying nothing because they are not in any way reducing their nuclear-enrichment capability,” he told reporters.

“Israel is not obliged by this agreement and Israel will do everything it needs to do to defend itself.”

President Hassan Rouhani said Tuesday that Iran was ready for “serious” negotiations on its nuclear program with the major powers “without wasting time”.

“We are the people of interaction and talks, with seriousness and without wasting time, if the other sides are ready,” he said at his first news conference since assuming office on Saturday.

“Iran’s peaceful nuclear program is a national issue… we will not give up the rights of the Iranian people,” he said.

“We will preserve our rights based on the international regulations,” he added, in reference to Iran’s insistence that it has the right to peaceful use of nuclear power as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

“As the president of the Islamic republic, I am announcing that there is political will to solve this issue and also take into consideration the concerns of the other sides,” he said.

Rouhani hit out a call by 76 US senators for tougher sanctions from Washington even as he took office with a call for constructive engagement.

He said Friday’s letter from the US lawmakers to President Barack Obama, which was published on Monday, showed a lack of understanding of Iranian politics.
