Without a "firm stance" by the international community against
the Iranian regime’s calculated tactics in the nuclear negotiations, Tehran
will continue to "deceive, distract, and distort" on its way to build
an atomic bomb, Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the US representative
office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), has said.
"As the intense negotiations in Vienna inch closer to the new July
7th deadline, Tehran’s elusive tactics were put on display with Tehran’s
Foreign Minister Javad Zarif releasing a Youtube video in which he claimed the
regime had made enough compromises. To his credit, however, Secretary of State
John Kerry was not impressed, insisting that the Iranian regime had to make
'hard choices' in the next couple of days, and 'quickly,' otherwise, 'we’ll be
prepared to walk away,'" Jafarzadeh wrote in an opinion piece in
FoxNews.com on Monday.
He pointed out that a recent report released by the opposition NCRI
provides insights into how to read Tehran’s ongoing negotiating tactics,
including the latest theatrics by Zarif. The 28-page analysis, relying on
public and classified sources within Iran, reviews the Iranian regime’s
behavior during two periods of talks (2003-2004 and 2013-2015) and discerns the
principles of Tehran’s approach and tactics during negotiations to reach its
objectives.
