The Geneva Deal Is Designed to Circumvent UN Resolutions
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Amir Taheri - Iran has already crossed the threshold after which it would be able to build a bomb. Even if Iran were to carry out all its commitments under the Geneva deal it would still not revert to its pre-threshold position. The six resolutions passed by the UN Security Council were designed to dismantle the Iranian nuclear program, not to freeze things at the current high level. I am not against talking to the mullahs and trying to find a diplomatic solution. What matters is what the talks are about. The talks should be about implementing the UN resolutions. The Geneva format is designed to circumvent the UN resolutions. The writer was the executive editor-in-chief of the daily Kayhan in Iran from 1972 to 1979.
