US Talks With Iran

On October 1st Barak Obama and his administration will be hoping to begin talks afresh with Iran over their nuclear energy programme for the first time in over a year with the hope of persuading the rogue state of abandoning its ambitions for nuclear power. Will they succeed? Most of the international community thinks not.

For the past few years Iran has cleverly played a game of cat and mouse through delaying tactics and changing the subject whenever discussions have been held on this hot topic. There is no reason to think that this latest effort by the US, Germany and other members of the UN permanent security council will be any different. Should the talks fail, which is likely, the US will have no other option than to adopt sanctions outside of the UN as there is no reason for Iran's main allies, Russia and China, to not veto the vote on passing a fourth round of sanctions against Iran.

Even with the sanctions however it is unlikely Iran will give up on its goal and instead will continue towards the holy grail it is seeking - a nuclear bomb. Should the talks and sanctions fail, the situation would indeed become more grim and action would most likely need to be taken elsewhere.
