Iran's Nuclear Diplomacy: Will the United States Buy It?

On Oct. 1, after intelligence report given to United States President Barack ObamaBarack Obama that Iran has a secret nuclear laboratory, the president gave Iran two weeks to open the said secret hitherto nuclear facility at Qum to inspection. Surprisingly, Iran agreed to allow officials from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to visit the alleged secret nuclear lab on Oct. 25. Many said that the 10-day gap between what Obama demanded and what Iran was willing to concede is a sign that the looming dilemma for the Administration on Iran nuclear diplomacy. And even if there will be an achieved solution, still it's not what the United States want.

Washington said that after the meeting in Geneva, Iran is simply playing for time and not with open cards. In reality, even if Iran do cooperates, it wont do so with the Western terms. The progress made in Geneva, primary demand of the US and it's European allies, have pressed since the year 2006: that Iran should give up it's uranium-enrichment program in exchange for a package of political and economic incentives.

What Iran did agree is for the IAEA to inspect the uranium-enrichment facility but not to stop it's operation. Iran is sending low-enriched uranium to Russia to create fuel rods for it's medical research reactor in Tehran. IAEA promise to safeguard and keep watch on Iran's uranium-enrichment program to make sure that it will not be use for creating nuclear weapons..
