Today is the Day

Will Iran bring us terror and war, or will it simply give the West more of the same doublespeak we've been hearing for years? Will Iran, after having raised worldwide alarm over it's ambiguous statements regarding 8/22, simply respond to the world by saying: We are open to negotiation but we will not negotiate on our nuclear enrichment? After the perceived threats, this would come as a relief to many - taking the spotlight (once again) off their nuclear ambitions. We will see.

From CNN:

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iran has given its formal answer to a package of incentives offered by the U.N. Security Council's five permanent members plus Germany in exchange for halting its uranium enrichment program, according to Iranian media.

It said Ali Larijani, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, handed the response to ambassadors from Germany, France, Britain, Russia, China and Switzerland in Tehran on Tuesday afternoon, according to Iran's state-run Arabic-language Al-Alam television, Reuters reported. It did not give details of the reply.

Switzerland, which is not a member of the U.N. Security Council, is representing the interests of the United States because Washington does not have diplomatic relations with Iran.

Iran still has until the end of the month to formally respond to a U.N. resolution demanding it stop its nuclear program and allow full inspections, or face economic sanctions.

Iranian officials in recent days have already rejected the U.N. resolution, saying they are within their rights to build a nuclear energy program despite fears from the West that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons.
