Paper believes new n-talks will bear fruit

Tehran, Dec 17, IRNA - 'Iran Daily' on Wednesday expressed its belief that strong indications exist which show that the new nuclear talks, between Iran and the six world powers, will finally bear fruit. The reason why the nuclear talks failed, despite both sides' determination to reach a comprehensive deal before the November-24 deadline was 'due to lack of time', the English-language paper noted. But the very fact that the decision between Iran-P5+1 to extend the talks for another seven months clearly indicates that they have not, what the paper says 'abandoned' the talks. The political and economic situation in the world leaves no option but to settle the nuclear dispute through a win-win solution, underscored the paper in its Opinion column. Each side seeks to secure its own interests at the talks but the process of the negotiations in the past year has raised hope that the nuclear case will be closed before the new deadline. Iran’s nuclear negotiating team is in Geneva for fresh round of discussions with the P5+1 as well as bilateral meetings with the US and other members of the group, it noted. Both sides are well aware of the situation in the world and the region. That’s why they are resolute to come to an agreement to narrow the gaps. In the US, Republicans will take control of the Congress as of January and this is expected to create new challenges for President Barack Obama. The Obama administration has been under fire over its foreign policy, especially with regard to Iran’s nuclear case. Criticism began to grow after the White House took a new approach to the nuclear issue in the aftermath of the 2012 presidential election in Iran which brought moderate Hassan Rouhani to power, it noted. Disagreements are mainly over the level and capacity of uranium enrichment and the process of lifting anti-Iran sanctions. Iran demands all sets of embargos, namely those imposed by the UN Security Council, the European Union, the US government, and US Congress be scrapped under a comprehensive deal. The UNSC sanctions can be revoked through new resolutions and the EU can easily lift the limitations as it is not under pressure from the Zionist lobby like the US government. The lifting of EU sanction could have a positive impact in the US. The White House has the power to remove unilateral sanctions, even those slapped by the Congress, concluded the paper./end
