(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - After meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Ottawa on Friday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spelled out the conditions Tehran should meet before the world once again negotiates with it over its nuclear program. "Right now, Iran is feeling the pressure of economic sanctions, and it could try to evade that pressure by entering talks." Tehran must be kept from again using negotiations to gain time and advance its nuclear program, he said. To avoid "falling into this trap," the international community should place three conditions on Tehran before entering negotiations: Iran must dismantle its nuclear facility at Qom; stop all uranium enrichment inside the country; and remove all uranium already enriched beyond 3.5% out of the country. "Anything short of that would enable Iran to continue its nuclear program by other means, which is exactly what they have done up to now."
