TEHRAN, Jun. 27 (MNA) – Source close to the Iranian negotiating team says
Obama is showing signs of weakness in face of internal opposition as well as
regional opposition to agreement.
An informed source close to Iranian negotiating team who spoke to Mehr News
on the condition of anonymity described the weakness as the reason “why the
US is constantly increasing its demands and moving goalposts. That is also
why the US is trying to include unrelated military sites in the talks and to
keep the sanctions regime in place.”
According to the informed source, Iranian team also doesn't trust the
Americans, because it didn't properly implement the Geneva agreement
although Iran did. “The news about the US experimenting on how to attack
Iranian nuclear sites, also increases suspicion.”
The source also asserted that Ayatollah Khamenei's speech was a response to
US behavior and unending demands.
“The Iranian team also believes that the US may not negotiate seriously in
Vienna, because it is already playing the blame game,” concluded the source.
