Policy of Pressure-Negotiation Will Result in the Failure of Negotiations

- It can be said that the framework of issues of agreement and disagreement are known to both sides.

- Bagheri and Schmidt can, on 24 July 2012, consider these issues and possibly provide suggestions for the resolution of differences.

- As long as the West follows a policy of pressure-negotiation, it is unlikely that negotiations will succeed.

- The US and some EU countries erroneously believe that the increase in severity of sanctions will force Iran to reconsider its positions.

- The continuation of sanctions and the simultaneous desire to continue negotiations is paradoxical, meaning that if Western countries led by the US are after reaching an agreement on Iran's nuclear issue, why do they send contradictory messages which show that in practice they do not want to reach an agreement? This is a clear contradiction which should be solved.

- Western countries have planned to neutralize the psychological atmosphere of the oil market before the imposition of sanctions. 

- Before imposing sanctions and by determining a six-month grace period, Western countries tried to psychologically prepare the ground to control the oil market and to further limit the atmosphere for Iran through expanding sanctions.

- The West expects that, with the continuation of the present conditions, the situation for Iran will get tougher. They hope that, under these conditions, Iran, for instance by next year, will submit to their demands.

- In order to serve their interests, some EU companies bypass the sanctions. From an economic aspect, these sanctions put pressure on the Iranian people but they will not affect Iran's nuclear program because peaceful nuclear activities in the past two years have continued, and Iran’s achievements have also increased. I suggest that these countries cooperate with Iran away from the sensationalism and propaganda of the Zionist regime and some Arab countries.

- Conditions are totally prepared for Western countries to come forward, even for once, and try to cooperate with Iran. This will definitely be a good experience for them. 

- There is currently a wall of mistrust between Iran and the West and with this trend no negotiation will succeed. But if Western countries opt for cooperation and creation of trust with Iran, they surely will have more supervision and control over Iran’s nuclear activities because cooperation will take place in accordance with mutual interests.
