I tend to agree with your points here. I believe that any lasting negotiated peace will have to involve security guarantees for Iran. Iran is surrounded by nuclear states and, in case of the U.S. in Iraq, a state that has openly even discussed using nuclear weapons against it. Iran has its own objectives in the ME and these coincide very little with those of the U.S. However, Iran has no recent history of attacking its neighbors unless in self defense. As mentioned before, Iran has signed the NPT and is pledging to adhere to it. The U.S. wants to roll back the terms of that agreement while not even attempting to discuss the fact that Israel, Pakistan and India developed nuclear weapons which would have been clear violations under the NPT. Why is this not discussed much more openly and forcefully. There is a very clear double standard here that will hinder any reasonable resolution until it is cleared up. It should also be said that the intent of the NPT was to eliminate nuclear weapons. Something that the U.S. also never seemed to want to implement itself and is in open defiance with through its first strike plan. washingtonpost.com
