#1 In comments reported by the official IRNA news agency, Larijani said: "The negotiations can yield results if they are serious and not a game."

Heh, he actually said that?

#2 Unfortunately, "World Powers" are not serious---if they were, there wouldn't be an Iran capable of a nuclear program.

#3 "The negotiations can yield results if they are serious and not a game."

#4 Maybe Stuxnet has been more effective than the Ayatollah-stocracy has been willing to admit. Or maybe they believe Russia when they say that an attack is imminent.

Nah, just more BS to buy time.

"Talk, sure I'll talk. As much talking as you like".

#5 IIRC TELEGRAPH.UK > IRAN'S NUCLEAR POWER: WORLD MUST PREPARE FOR INEVITABLE TO HAPPEN.

The US-Allies + UNO can obstruct or hold up, but not stop or destroy, Iran's drive towards nuclear capability.

#6 The murders, bombings, and other unnatural events in Iran seem to speak pretty loudly.
