Now, according to the Daily Telegraph,
Iran has issued an extraordinary list of demands to Britain and other European countries, telling them to provide advanced nuclear technology, conventional weapons and a security guarantee against nuclear attack by Israel. ...Laughable is what I'd call it. The response should be, "well, uh, no."
The EU-3 are still debating over how to respond, but British officials said the Iranian letter was "extremely surprising, given the delicate state of process".
On the other hand, it would undoubtedly be helpful to the situation if the US and Israel would stop dropping hints about military assaults or "covert" actions to disrupt Iran's nuclear program or even, in the US's case, "regime change." Or do we get to decide who does and doesn't have nuclear power (the US and Israel both do), who does and doesn't have nuclear weapons (the US and Israel both do), and who does and doesn't have to cooperate with the IAEA (the US and Israel both don't)?
