Iran Celebrates Limited Victory after Latest P5+1 Talks


(Al-Monitor) Meir Javedanfar - According to an article published Wednesday by the Iranian conservative site Mashregh news: "After eight months of resistance by the people of Iran against excessive Western demands, finally the P5+1 agreed to negotiate within the framework of Iran's recommendation in Moscow. This development is a major step in the negotiation process and a victory for the people of Iran." Such a message is likely to be used by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to say that the P5+1 has acknowledged Iran's strength. While the regime's isolation is growing daily, Khamenei seems to believe that time is on Iran's side. As far as Iran's most powerful man is concerned, the regime will ultimately withstand the sanctions, and it is the West who will ultimately dismantle them because it can't live without Iran's oil. So it's worth Iran's while to wait for now.
