"Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Saturday criticised
some aspects of President Hassan Rouhani's landmark UN visit in which he
spoke to his US counterpart but voiced broad support. The comments were
the first public response by Khamenei, who wields ultimate authority in
Iran, to Rouhani's overtures to the West in New York last week, which
were capped by a historic 15-minute telephone conversation with US
President Barack Obama. 'We support the diplomatic initiative of the
government and attach importance to its activities in this trip,'
Khamenei told military commanders and graduating cadets in remarks
reported by his website, Khamenei. However he added-without
elaborating-that 'some of what happened in the New York trip was not
appropriate.' ... 'We are pessimistic towards the Americans and do not
put any trust in them. The American government is untrustworthy,
supercilious and unreasonable, and breaks its promises,' he said... The
American administration 'is a government that is seized by the
international network of Zionism, and has to put up with the usurper
(Israeli) regime and show flexibility towards it,' Khamenei said." http://t.uani.com/1gjwYU8

"US Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday urged Iran to come up
with new nuclear proposals, rebuffing Tehran's position that the onus is
now on foreign powers to unblock the long-running impasse. Iran's Foreign
Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Sunday that the previous foreign
offer, made by the 'P5+1' group at two meetings in the Kazakh capital of
Almaty before the June election of moderate President Hassan Rouhani, was
no longer valid. But Kerry, while welcoming recent overtures including a
historic contact between Rouhani and US President Barack Obama, said the
ball remained in Iran's court. 'The group of six put a proposal on the
table at Almaty and I don't believe as of yet Iran has fully responded to
that particular proposal. So I think we are waiting for the fullness of
the Iranian difference in their approach now,' he told reporters in
Indonesia after meeting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. 'So what
we need are a set of proposals from Iran that will fully disclose how
they will show the world that their programme is peaceful.'" http://t.uani.com/1a4WMgG

"President Barack Obama says U.S. intelligence agencies believe Iran
is still 'a year or more' away from producing a nuclear weapon, an
assessment he acknowledged was at odds with Israel. 'Our estimate is
probably more conservative than the estimates of Israeli intelligence
services,' Obama said in a wide-ranging interview with The Associated
Press... 'Rouhani has staked his position on the idea that he can improve
relations with the rest of the world,' Obama said. 'And so far he's been
saying a lot of the right things. And the question now is, can he follow
through?' But Obama said Rouhani is not Iran's only 'decision-maker. He's
not even the ultimate decision-maker,' a reference to the control wielded
by Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei." http://t.uani.com/15gslWe
Nuclear
Program
Times
of Israel: "In a video clip now gaining fresh attention as the
international community seeks to assess his credibility, Iran's President
Hassan Rouhani bragged on Iranian state television just four months ago
that he and the regime utterly flouted a 2003 agreement with the IAEA in
which it promised to suspend all uranium enrichment and certain other
nuclear activities... Far from honoring the commitment, in which Iran
said 'it has decided voluntarily to suspend all uranium enrichment and
reprocessing activities,' Rouhani told the interviewer that all Iran did
was merely suspend 'ten centrifuges' in the Natanz enrichment facility.
'And not a total suspension. Just reduced the yield.' ... Incredulous at
the notion that Iran had bowed to international pressure and halted nuclear
activities in that period, Rouhani asked the interviewer, 'We halted the
nuclear program? We were the ones to complete it! We completed the
technology.'" http://t.uani.com/1b33UfI
Reuters:
"World powers negotiating with Tehran over its disputed nuclear
program must come up with new proposals before talks in Geneva on October
15-16, Iran's foreign minister said. The United States wants Iran to
respond to proposals by world powers in February as a starting point for
talks. If the parties cannot agree on how to start the negotiations, it
casts doubt on whether a resolution can be agreed within the six months
in which Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says he wants a deal. Britain,
China, France, Russia and the United States - the five permanent members of
the United Nations Security Council - plus Germany, the so-called P5+1,
said in February they want Iran to stop enrichment of uranium to 20
percent, ship out some stockpiles and shutter a facility where such
enrichment is done. In return, they offered relaxation of international
sanctions on Iran's petrochemicals and trade in gold and other precious
metals... 'The previous P5+1 plan given to Iran belongs to history and
they must enter talks with a new point of view,' Foreign Minister
Mohammad Javad Zarif said in an interview with Iranian state television
late on Saturday. 'The players must put away this illusion that they can
impose anything on the Iranian people.'" http://t.uani.com/17eR0am
McClatchy:
"For years, Tehran has dismissed U.N. concerns that the Iranian
military secretly studied how to place a nuclear warhead atop a ballistic
missile. It has rejected incriminating documents as forgeries, barred
U.N. inspectors from quizzing top scientists and demolished suspected
research sites. Now that record is about to come center stage as
negotiations are set to resume Oct. 15 on resolving the international
standoff over Iran's nuclear program. As the negotiations unfold, the
United States is sure to demand that Tehran disclose the entire history
of its program as part of any agreement to the nuclear crisis, which
newly elected Iranian President Hassan Rouhani insists he's ready to
resolve within months. That could be one of the thorniest parts of the
talks, say current and former U.S. officials, diplomats and other
experts. That's because Iran is likely to spurn any accord that results
in a public - and humiliating - confirmation that it was doing what its
senior leaders have repeatedly denied: developing nuclear weapons... The
Iranians 'have to be given a graceful way' that 'allows them to
acknowledge that this research was going on without confessing that it
was a government program,' said Gary Samore, the head of research at
Harvard University's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs,
who served for four years as Obama's top arms control adviser." http://t.uani.com/1e3R8iM
AP:
"Iran's nuclear chief said Sunday that authorities arrested four
workers in an alleged sabotage plot involving one of the country's
nuclear facilities, hinting that authorities were looking at suspected
international links such as Israel. The reports quoting Ali Akbar Salehi
did not give further details or name any specific countries in possible
connection to the investigation. But his reference to probes into
'hostile' nations suggested Iran could point the finger at Israel - which
is already blamed by Iran for a series of targeted slayings of nuclear
scientists over the past four years." http://t.uani.com/GIliwi
Sanctions
LAT:
"Obama administration officials hoping to end the nuclear standoff
with Iran not only face a nation legendary for hard-line negotiating,
they also must deal with members of Congress who may be just as
unyielding. In talks with Iran set to resume in Geneva in mid-October,
the White House must weigh two competing challenges: coaxing Tehran to
stop uranium enrichment and other nuclear work, and winning support from
a Congress that is skeptical of easing sanctions against Iran. In an era
when Congress is divided on almost everything, the desire to bash Iran is
nearly universal on Capitol Hill, uniting tea party conservatives such as
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and liberals like House Minority Leader Rep.
Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco). Since only Congress can permanently lift
the bruising sanctions it has imposed on Iran, lawmakers can torpedo any
deal if they believe the White House is giving too much to Iran's
pragmatic new president, Hassan Rouhani, or his hard-line boss, supreme
leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. 'We have a tremendous amount of leverage,'
said Rep. Ed Royce (R-Fullerton), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee and co-author of the toughest Iran sanctions legislation ever
adopted by the House." http://t.uani.com/1b2ZVjp
NYT:
"He called himself the 'economic basij,' a reference to Iran's
hard-line paramilitary organization and defender of the Islamic
Revolution. He drove a black Mercedes 500 SL and wore a $30,000 watch, as
befits a man who put his self-worth at $13.5 billion. Not bad for a
39-year-old who began his career in the 1980s selling sheepskins and
emerged more recently as a critical actor in Iran's effort to evade
United States sanctions on its oil sales. But it has all come tumbling
down for the tycoon, Babak Zanjani, whose accounts were frozen by the
United States Treasury in April and who has been blacklisted by the
European Union... His rise and now possible fall have opened a window
into the secretive, shadowy world of Iranian tycoons who have made their
fortunes, at least in part, by helping Iran evade the sanctions intended
to thwart its nuclear program... 'This is what I do - antisanctions
operations,' Mr. Zanjani said. 'I am a businessman who has done his job
well. Since I was placed under sanctions they haven't managed to sell
even three million barrels of oil.'" http://t.uani.com/15gtrRW
Reuters:
"The tempting taboo of Iran's oil and gas riches has moved a step
nearer for Western oil companies, lining up to woo Tehran if sanctions
finally succumb to a diplomatic thaw. U.S. oil firms - barred by
Washington from Iran for nearly two decades - planned to meet Oil
Minister Bijan Zanganeh last week at the United Nations, encouraged by
the new tone in Tehran, industry sources said. 'We're willing to talk:
Iran's got tremendous potential,' said a senior executive from a major
U.S. oil company who requested anonymity while preparing for exploratory
talks... Executives from U.S. and European companies will be seeking new
opportunities to meet with Iranian oil officials on neutral ground,
industry sources said. U.S. and European companies contacted by Reuters
declined comment for this story. 'There is no embargo on talks,' said a
senior European oil executive, who requested anonymity." http://t.uani.com/16taNY6
Reuters:
"After years of being caught in the geopolitical crossfire over
Iran's disputed nuclear programme, Iranian businessmen in Dubai are
daring to hope that signs of a diplomatic thaw will allow crippling
economic sanctions to be lifted. The wary optimism in Dubai,
traditionally a major hub for Iranian commerce, reflects a tantalising
prospect for businessmen across the world: that progress toward an
agreement on Iran's nuclear plans could allow it to rejoin the global
trading and financial system... The size of the economic opportunities
means political pressure to lift the sanctions could grow rapidly in
Western capitals if nuclear talks seem to be going well. But there would
also be losers from an economic reopening of Iran. Some businessmen have
prospered during its isolation - including some within Iran itself, who used
political connections to profit from policies resisting the sanctions.
They may lobby against the country's rehabilitation... Tehran does not
release timely, reliable data giving a full picture of the economic
damage. But the central bank says gross fixed capital formation, adjusted
for inflation, plunged 19.4 percent from a year earlier in the nine
months to last December 20. This implies a massive shortfall of public
and private investment during that period alone worth roughly $35 billion
at the free-market rial/dollar exchange rate. Foreign companies would
hope to supply much of the shortfall - in the form of factories,
machinery, buildings and infrastructure - if they were permitted to
resume normal trade and investment with Iran." http://t.uani.com/1cnnVS9
Times of Israel:
"News that ONE UN would be hosting Rouhani had sparked protests back
in August, when a group called United Against A Nuclear Iran (UANI) urged
the hotel to turn the Iranians away. 'Certainly the ONE UN is aware that
President Rouhani is the public face of a brutal regime that is a sworn
enemy of the United States, and which is under strict sanctions by the US
government and the international community,' the group's CEO, Mark
Wallace, wrote in a letter to the hotel... UANI has a history of
intimidating New York City hotels that cater to Iranian governmental
delegations. Over the years, it managed to persuade several such venues
to rethink. This time last year, UANI staged loud demonstrations in front
of the Warwick Hotel, where Ahmadinejad and his men were staying, leading
the hotel and its new general manager Peter Walterspiel to say no to Iran
in 2013. The fact that Obama is now on speaking terms with 'the public
face of a brutal regime,' however, may take some of the wind of UANI's
sails from now on... The anti-Iran activists from UANI are not impressed.
'The Iranian regime used the ONE UN not just for accommodation, but to
host events as part of its New York City charm offensive,' the group's
communications director, Nathan Carleton, told me. 'We wish the ONE UN
had not hosted Rouhani and his delegation, and hope they will not do the
same next year. When it comes to commerce with Iran, private businesses
should put principle above profit.'" http://t.uani.com/GHAn11

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said sanctions
on Iran are close to 'achieving their goal' of dismantling Tehran's
nuclear enrichment capability and should not be relaxed. 'The sanctions
on Iran are working. They are very strong; they are a moment away from
achieving their goal,' he said ahead of the weekly cabinet meeting. 'The
sanctions must not be eased before reaching the goal of dismantling
Iran's enrichment capability -- the ability to produce nuclear weapons,'
Netanyahu said... 'We do not oppose diplomatic negotiations with Iran,'
Netanyahu said in reference to the US invitation to Iran to engage in
dialogue. 'We insist that these negotiations lead to the dismantling of
Iran's enrichment capability.'" http://t.uani.com/1bBVTTv
NYT:
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said Friday that he
would meet with European leaders next week in hopes of influencing the
negotiations scheduled to begin Oct. 15 over Iran's nuclear program, part
of what he described as a 'comprehensive international struggle.' 'I will
emphasize the fact that the sanctions on Iran can achieve the desired
result if they are continued,' Mr. Netanyahu said upon returning to
Israel from a five-day visit to the United States. 'The world must not be
tempted by the Iranian stratagem into easing sanctions as long as the
Iranians do not dismantle their military nuclear program.'" http://t.uani.com/1a4Y2QM
The Hill:
"A leading Republican declared himself 'puzzled' Friday by the Obama
administration's decision to furlough employees in charge of Iran
sanctions. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-Calif.)
asked Treasury Secretary Jack Lew in a letter to reconsider the decision.
He suggested the department was violating its own legal guidance by
determining that employees working on the sanctions aren't 'essential.'
'As you are surely aware,' Royce said, 'the Administration's own legal
guidance' states that functions and activities that 'address emergency
circumstances' should continue to operate even during a shutdown. The
Iran sanctions regime fits that description, he said. 'Needless to say,
these recent staffing decisions leave me puzzled,' Royce added. 'I
respectfully ask that you reconsider these ill-advised staffing decisions
that undermine support for vigorous Iran sanctions and other critical
national security efforts.'" http://t.uani.com/GHkt7i

Opinion & Analysis
Abolhassan
Bani-Sadr in CSM: "Since the hostage crisis 34 years
ago, the Iranian regime has made the United States a linchpin of its
domestic and international politics. To normalize relations with the US
would mean that the regime would have to deprive itself of this linchpin.
For a still-powerful faction within the leadership, normalization would
spell the end of the regime. They will thus try to oppose it in any way
they can. But there is a real possibility of a negotiated deal on Iran's
nuclear program. The key to understanding President Hassan Rouhani's
turnaround at the United Nations - and its contradictions - can be found
in Iran's past behavior. As a whole, Mr. Rouhani's talks and interviews
while visiting New York last month demonstrated once again that, in Iran,
foreign policy dictates domestic politics and not vice versa. The regime
has always used international crisis to consolidate its domestic control
- until the costs outweigh the benefits. Since the early days of the
Iranian revolution, the Iranian regime has always pushed crisis forward
to a point beyond which it can no longer continue. The regime then ends
up 'drinking the poison chalice of defeat' (a term Ayatollah Khomeini
used when agreeing to end the war with Iraq)... Rouhani's speech at the
UN showed strong signs that the regime has found itself in the same
situation again. The country will now have to pay a price for its
disastrous policies. Rouhani is seeking to stem the damage and change
course so the country can move on. We saw this in the speech, cleared by
Iran's supreme leader, which revealed the deeply embedded fears within
the regime. One of the fears expressed in the speech was the open
admission that sanctions have been effective in deeply damaging the
economy. Another was the admission that the factor of 'time' is working
against Iran. This is why Rouhani said that he wants to reach a deal
within three to six months. The third fear was expressed when he
described the regime as the 'regional power.' This was one of those bold
assertions that are necessary to cover up the reality. The Iranian regime
is not a 'regional power' but actually quite weak. It is not lost on
Rouhani and his faction that, in order to maintain its current
geo-political position, Iran has had to take a large amount of money from
its impoverished economy and spend it on countries like Syria and on
Hezbollah in Lebanon. And let's not forget that the main cause of Iran's
current disastrous economic situation is not the result of sanctions, but
of sheer ineptitude in management as well as massive financial corruption
by the Revolutionary Guards and other actors within the
military-financial mafia. The current attempt to shift Iran's nuclear
policy is the latest desperate move by a regime seeking to ensure that
any path toward normalization will be accompanied by a US guarantee not
to follow a policy of regime change." http://t.uani.com/1fUFTxL
Afshin Molavi in
The Weekly Wonk: "Iran's 1979 revolution still
reverberates across the world. A revolution in the truest sense, it swept
away the old order, delivered a new one, reordered regional and global
geopolitics, and spawned hope, inspiration, joy, terror, destruction,
despair and disenchantment. The one thing it didn't do was improve
people's living standards. Iran's rulers, like all men of revolutions,
live in the long shadow of the revolution that made them. To them, the
revolution is both home and prison. As home, it is a source of identity;
as prison, it locks them in ideological boxes, and spawns
holier-than-thou tests of will between purists and pragmatists. One thing
we know about modern revolutionaries: they rarely make sensible policy
choices that benefit their own people. They are too busy living up to the
'ideals' of their revolution, fighting with foes, real or imagined, and,
of course, remaking the world. Even 34 years on, the mere fact that new
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani feared shaking President Obama's hand in
public at the United Nations and offered only a tepid endorsement of the
Holocaust's veracity tells the story of a political elite still boxing in
the shadows of 1979. Meanwhile, as Iran's leaders have been trying to
consolidate their revolution and spread it across the region, they've
missed out on a far more consequential global revolution: the rise of
emerging markets." http://t.uani.com/1fcMvpX
Claudia Rosett in
Forbes: "As world powers prepare for nuclear talks
with Iran next week in Geneva, U.S. negotiators and their cohorts would
do well to review the history of nuclear deals with another rogue state:
the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. As Israel's Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu reminded the United Nations last week, North Korea
offers Iran a prime example of how a rogue state can parlay nuclear
climbdown deals into time and opportunity to cheat - reaping benefits
while still working toward nuclear weapons. In 2005, North Korea agreed
to a widely hailed diplomatic deal to give up its nuclear weapons program
in exchange for aid and other concessions. A year later, North Korea
conducted its first nuclear test. Since then, rolling right over a much
celebrated 2007 nuclear freeze deal, collecting aid and diplomatic
concessions along the way, and surviving a father-son transition of
despotic power, North Korea's regime has conducted two more nuclear
tests, in June, 2009 and February, 2013. In other words, the North Korean
nuclear playbook didn't just work for that first nuclear test in 2006. It
is still working. North Korea's people are hungry and oppressed, the
Pyongyang regime is laboring under sanctions, but having cheated its way
through a series of deals going all the way back to the nuclear freeze of
the 1994 Agreed Framework under President Clinton, North Korean tyrant
Kim Jong Un not only has a nuclear weapons program, but appears to be
honing the weapons. This warning is urgent. Not only does North Korea
offer terror-sponsoring Iran a model of how to get away with going
nuclear, but the two have plenty of direct dealings. Since Iran's 1979
Islamic revolution, North Korea has been one of Iran's closest allies.
This partnership is based on a shared hostility toward the U.S. and other
free societies, and has long been cemented by a neat match between North
Korea's weapons industry and need for money, and Iran's oil wealth and
desire for weapons." http://t.uani.com/1bQ9rY4
Stephen Carter in
Bloomberg: "When it comes to U.S. foreign policy, an
overused compound adjective may be playing havoc with our rational
faculties. Consider CNN's account of last week's historic meeting between
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad
Javad Zarif. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani 'appointed Zarif, a
western-educated former ambassador to the United Nations, as his lead
nuclear negotiator. The move was similarly seen as a gesture at improving
relations with the West.' ... Again and again, the trope appears:
'Western-educated' as a sort of marker for 'moderate' or 'a man we can
work with.' It's hard to see what other purpose could be served by the
constant invocation of the same compound adjective except to suggest to
the (Western) reader that Zarif is somehow 'one of us.' ... Zarif isn't
the first to receive this treatment. Long before the Syrian civil war
began, we were favored with endless references to the 'Western-educated'
Bashar al-Assad, whom starry-eyed observers seemed to expect to return
home and overturn the dictatorship his father's party had built. More
recently, the intrepid Anna Therese Day sat down to interview a quartet
of 'Western-educated, radical jihadists' affiliated with al-Qaeda. What
exactly is going on here? Why do journalists find it so important to tell
us when foreign leaders -- particularly around the Middle East -- have
been educated in the West? Perhaps they believe that the encounter with
Western values, Western texts, Western thought will work an ineluctable
change for the better in those exposed to them. But this is hope, not
fact. The notion that education possesses such power to set the young on
the proper moral path has an undeniable appeal, especially to those of us
in the academy. But it is almost certainly false. Indeed, one need not strain
terribly to hear in such commentary the distant echoes of the British
Empire, whose colonialism was justified by the need to bring civilization
to what they used to call the lesser breeds without the law. The idea was
that the encounter with the West (Europe, civilization, modernity) would
change traditional societies for the better... Education at the
contemporary university is not aimed at instilling a deep sense of right
and wrong. As Yale University historian Donald Kagan pointed out last
spring in his moving farewell address, today's academy does an excellent
job of teaching the skills of critique but fails to provide a sufficient
grounding in Western values to explain what critique is for. Adds Kagan:
'There is, moreover, no attempt to shape good character, for the better
universities lead the country in the direction of a kind of relativism,
even nihilism.' Kagan is right. A Western education that fails to defend
Western values is unlikely to make a moral difference in the life of the
student. One can know all the great texts and still do terrible things.
Perhaps we should retire the phrase 'Western-educated,' at least as an
index of moderation. That someone has attended even the best schools the
West has to offer tells us nothing about the degree of his ideological
drive or the depth of his love of power. Certainly we cannot, on such
little information, hazard a guess about anyone's taste for Western-style
democratic reforms." http://t.uani.com/1afFkHu
