#3 Yup. I should add it was an enormous relief, too, since the Eunix were all for it and Putty can be trusted as far as you can throw him.

Negotiations are over. They won't stop - they believe they have the entire non-Shia world over a barrel. Only time will tell if they are right in their calculations.

#4 A number of the Iranians are getting concerned with the huge cost and minimal progress of the indigenous enrichment project. This faction would like to cut a deal with Russia.

Other factions (including the ruling one)want as little as possible in the way of foreign involvement in the nuclear enterprize.

#5 Only Khamenei's "faction" matters, as far as I can tell - as an outsider. If you have substantive proof that he is not in total command of every power lever, I'd love to see it.
