Diplomats doubt success of nuclear negotiations with Iranian regime

NCRI – The difficulty in restarting nuclear talks with the Iranian regime, which have been on hold for more than a year, will not bode well, analysts and diplomats say, according to the Washington Post on Sunday.

The Post wrote that, “The rise of a Republican majority in the House of Representatives could bring new political pressure to bear on the administration, forcing it to harden its stance on Iran and making it more difficult to strike a deal.”

In the past week, senior GOP figures have been pushing tougher steps, including Ilena Ros-Lehtinen, the incoming chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

“Some administration officials and advisers say they think the president would use military force to set back Iran’s nuclear program if it appeared it was on the verge of having weapons capability,” The Post added.
