Ahmadinejad's tactics

The nuclear compromise between Iran, Brazil and Turkey is inadequate and above all represents an attempt by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to delay a decision on sanctions, the business paper Il Sole 24 Ore writes: "The agreement fulfils only some of the conditions stipulated by the UN Security Council. The core of the problem remains uranium enrichment in Iran, the nuclear facility in Qom, the lack of concrete answers to the demands of the International nuclear authorities. ... However, according to its own statements the Iranian government is rushing to put the ball back in the West's court. It wants to put off the discussions about new sanctions to prevent them from coinciding with the first anniversary of the presidential elections on 12 June 2009, which led to a national uprising and the regime's brutal reaction to the revolt."
