Deal made on Iran sanctions: Clinton
Press TV – May 18, 2010
The US claims to have made an agreement with all veto-wielding permanent members of the UN Security Council on a draft sanctions resolution against Iran.
“We have reached agreement on a strong draft with the cooperation of Russia and China,” US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, referring to talks with permanent members of the UN Security Council Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany.
Clinton told the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the draft would be presented to all 15 members of the Security Council on Tuesday –one day after Iran announced a nuclear declaration following trilateral pro-diplomacy talks with non-permanent UNSC members Brazil and Turkey.
Russia and China have long resisted the US campaign for sanctions and urged other powers to seek a diplomatic solution to the standoff over Iran’s nuclear program. Both countries welcomed the nuclear declaration issued by Iran, Turkey and Brazil.
“We attach importance to and support this agreement,” Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said on Tuesday.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev also welcomed the declaration as “the politics of a diplomatic solution.” Moscow has stressed that it would never support sanctions meant to “strangle Iran” or harm the Iranian people.
Iran’s partners in the trilateral talks are both non-permanent members of the UN Security Council (UNSC) opposed to the US-led campaign for slapping tougher UN sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
Despite the declaration that paves the way for the realization of a nuclear fuel swap proposal, the US has rebuffed the Iranian announcement, saying that it will continue efforts to impose a fourth round of sanctions on the Islamic Republic, which it accuses of pursuing a covert military nuclear program.
Tehran rejects the Washington-led accusations, arguing that as a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) it has the right to a civilian nuclear program.

The US administration has form when it comes to these announcements. Once we hear from China nad Russia I’m sure we’ll find that Hillary ‘snipers in Sarajevo’ Clinton is just blowing hot air. The quotes from Russia and China seem more appropriate to the Turkey/Brazil deal then for renewed threats of UNSC sanctions. It seems weird that China and Russia would agree to further sanctions when the Turkey/Brazil deal seems to satisfy Western concerns.

I know how to tell if Madame Clinton is blowing hot air. is her mouth moving? Wasn’t it just last feb. or march that defense sec. Gates said if Iran would do exactly what they agreed to do now, we could make some progress. Now all of a sudden its to little to late. Hmm where have I heard that before? Oh yeah in the run up to the Iraq invasion. It doesn’t matter what Iran does, Israel has said they need invaded and we all know who controls the US.

Right on Joe..especially the PNAC bit, most Americans are so ignorant they don’t even know about the PNAC which has changed their world and will continue to do so as long as Americans remain willfully stupid, a vicious cycle in their government’s war against them ultimately.

One wonders in what way America could “control” Iran’s oil through the actions being taken.
A closer read of the PNAC documents reveals an agenda that is centered on the destruction of Israel’s enemies (securing the realm). It has not much to do with oil outside of the fact that the Israelis are concerned that oil sales revenues might in any way help to finance resistance to the expansion of Israel.
