"Iran is ready to work with the United States and its allies to stop
Islamic State militants, but would like more flexibility on Iran's
uranium enrichment program in exchange, senior Iranian officials told
Reuters. The comments from the officials, who asked not to be named,
highlight how difficult it may be for the Western powers to keep the
nuclear negotiations separate from other regional conflicts. Iran wields
influence in the Syrian civil war and on the Iraqi government, which is
fighting the advance of Islamic State fighters... 'Iran is a very
influential country in the region and can help in the fight against the
ISIL (IS) terrorists ... but it is a two-way street. You give something,
you take something,' said a senior Iranian official on condition of anonymity.
'ISIL is a threat to world security, not our (nuclear) program, which is
a peaceful program,' the official added... Another Iranian official
echoed the remarks. Both officials said they would like the United States
and its Western allies to show flexibility on the number of atomic
centrifuges Tehran could keep under any long-term deal that would lift
sanctions in exchange for curbs on Tehran's nuclear program." http://t.uani.com/1od0ZXx
NYT:
"Over the years, the United States has shown considerable ingenuity
in its effort to slow Iran's production of nuclear fuel: It has used
sabotage, cyberattacks and creative economic sanctions. Now, mixing
face-saving diplomacy and innovative technology, negotiators are
attempting a new approach, suggesting that the Iranians call in a
plumber. The idea is to convince the Iranians to take away many of the
pipes that connect their nuclear centrifuges, the giant machines that are
connected together in a maze that allows uranium fuel to move from one
machine to another, getting enriched along the way. That way, the
Iranians could claim they have not given in to Western demands that they
eliminate all but a token number of their 19,000 machines, in which Iran
has invested billions of dollars and tremendous national pride. And if
the plumbing is removed, experts at America's national nuclear
laboratories have told the Obama administration, the United States and
its allies could accurately claim that they have extended the time Iran
would need to produce enough fuel for a bomb - and given the West time to
react." http://t.uani.com/1v8lRDf
WSJ:
"The first full round of nuclear talks between Iran and six world
powers resumed Friday in New York after a two-month gap, with Western
officials saying the coming days are critical to reaching a deal by the
Nov. 24 deadline... 'The Iranians have said over these many days and
weeks how reasonable and flexible they are...and about how their current
capacity should be acceptable,' the senior U.S. official said. 'But the
status quo is not doable for any of us.' The official said the six power
group has been offering 'creative solutions' over the summer but that
Iran hadn't been immediately responsive. 'There is a unique opportunity
over this next week and a half when heads of state, foreign
ministers...are gathered in New York,' the official said. 'There is an
opportunity to... see whether the outlines, and...the details of a
potential agreement begin to emerge.' A second western diplomat said
there were signs in bilateral talks this week that Iran realized it must
show more flexibility on enrichment. But the official said it remained
unclear whether they could 'significantly narrow the gaps' during the New
York talks. Friday's talks started with a brief meeting of top
negotiators from Iran and the P5+1 at the U.N. There will be a mix of
bilateral and multilateral meetings in coming days at expert and senior
official levels." http://t.uani.com/XMn6wD
Nuclear Program & Negotiations
AP:
"With Iran refusing U.S. demands that it gut its uranium enrichment
program, the two sides are now discussing a new proposal that would leave
much of Tehran's enriching machines in place but disconnected from feeds
of uranium, diplomats told The Associated Press Saturday... Time is
running out before a Nov. 24 deadline and both sides are eager to break
the impasse. Ahead of the resumption of talks Friday, the New York Times
reported that Washington was considering putting a new plan on the table
that would focus on removing piping connecting the centrifuges. That
would allow the U.S. leeway on modifying demands that Iran cut the number
of centrifuge machines from 19,000 to no more than 1,500. Two diplomats
told the AP that Tehran, which would gain an end to crippling nuclear-related
sanctions as part of any deal, was initially non-committal at a bilateral
meeting in August. But they say the proposal has now moved to being
discussed at the talks Tehran is holding with the U.S. and five other
powers, and that the Islamic Republic was listening closely." http://t.uani.com/ZBXrZ7
The Hill:
"A group of 31 senators warned Secretary of State John Kerry against
making any nuclear concessions to Iran that would pose a threat to the
U.S. In a letter spearheaded by Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), the senators
expressed grave concern over 'troubling' reports that the administration
is considering a deal that would allow Iranian nuclear centrifuges to be
'disconnected' instead of 'dismantled.' 'We have learned that the United
States and its P5+1 negotiating partners may now be offering troubling
nuclear concessions to Iran in the hopes of rapidly concluding
negotiations for a deal,' the lawmakers wrote to Kerry. 'Given that a
nuclear Iran poses the greatest long-term threat to the security of the United
States, Israel, and other allies, we are gravely concerned about the
possibility of any new agreement that, in return for further relief of
U.S.-led international sanctions, would allow Iran to produce explosive
nuclear material.' In a statement Saturday, Kirk said Under Secretary of
State Wendy Sherman and her team 'are getting desperate, floating these
so-called creative solutions to hide the fact that they haven't gotten
Iran to agree to a single irreversible step to eliminate Iran's nuclear
weapons capability.'" http://t.uani.com/1uYPPuh
Reuters:
"U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met his Iranian counterpart for
more than an hour on Sunday and stressed the need to make progress in
nuclear negotiations this week on the sidelines of U.N. meetings. Kerry
and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif also discussed the
threat posed by Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, a senior State
Department official said, without elaborating. 'They spent time reviewing
the status of the EU-led P5+1 negotiations on Iran's nuclear program,'
the official said. 'They discussed both the progress that has been made
and the work that still needs to be done,' the official added. 'Secretary
Kerry noted that this week is an opportunity to make additional progress
and stressed that it is our intention to do so.' The two diplomats met
one-on-one before being joined by others, the official said, adding that
they agreed to meet again 'as needed' while in New York to advance the
talks." http://t.uani.com/XWuQwD
Reuters:
"Iran can no longer 'play for time' in nuclear negotiations with six
world powers that resumed on Friday, Germany's top diplomat said, two
months ahead of a deadline for a deal that would end economic sanctions
on Tehran in exchange for curbing its atomic program. 'We are entering
the crucial phase of the E3+3 (six powers) negotiations with Iran,'
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told reporters in New
York. 'There is no more room for Iran to play for time,' he said. 'We are
willing to offer Iran a fair deal. However, for that to happen, Iran will
need to move on the core issues.'" http://t.uani.com/1od0gWh
Military
Matters
NYT:
"Two Chinese warships have docked at Iran's principal naval port for
the first time in history, Iranian admirals told state television on
Sunday, adding that both countries would conduct four days of joint naval
exercises. On Sunday, Xinhua, the official Chinese news agency, reported
that Chinese Navy ships involved in protecting shipping in the Gulf of
Aden stopped at an Iranian port on Saturday for a 'friendly visit.' One
of the vessels was the Changchun, a guided-missile destroyer, the report
said. The news agency posted images of one of the destroyers docking in
the port of Bandar Abbas, where it was given a military welcome. The
Iranian and Chinese Navies were scheduled to start joint exercises on
Monday, focusing on rescue missions, Iranian news media reported." http://t.uani.com/1rg17ZQ
Sanctions
Relief
FT:
"When Saeed - an Iranian businessman - saw his imports of printing
machines through Dubai dwindling, he moved to Turkey 'to survive' and to
bypass sanctions over Iran's nuclear programme. Escaping from tight
Emirati customs security checks on any goods bound for Iran, as well as
escalating hurdles on banking transactions and trading licence renewals,
the importer opened an office in Istanbul in 2011... Iran's
political relations with its western neighbour have been far from cordial
and sometimes strained. Tensions came to the fore in recent years over issues
including the conflict in Syria - where Tehran supported the regime of
Bashar al-Assad while Ankara backed the opposition - and Turkey's hosting
of Nato missile defences. But trade ties have largely remained strong,
while sanctions have been double-edged - causing fluctuations but also
benefits. If the nuclear talks fail, Dubai and Turkey will remain Iran's
main windows for trade. Other than physical trade, done mainly via the
Bazargan checkpoint, a lot of unofficial financial transactions are done
through Hawala - a traditional transfer system which relies on trusted
intermediaries... 'Turkey is like a throat to us, which if closed would
cut off our connections to the West,' says Jalal Ebrahimi, in charge of
the Iran-Turkey trade council." http://t.uani.com/1ux4XxN
Reuters:
"Chinese imports of crude from Iran fell nearly 30 percent from a
year earlier to the lowest since October 2013, with Tehran's largest oil
client reducing shipments from high levels in recent months as at least
one regular buyer went through a planned overhaul. China began stepping
up purchases from the OPEC member after a preliminary nuclear deal in
November last year eased some sanctions on Iran. China has since
accounted for the main portion of Asia's higher Iranian oil imports...
China's August imports from Iran came in at 1.32 million tonnes, or
311,653 bpd, down 28.6 percent from a year earlier, customs data showed
on Monday. On a daily basis, August imports fell 44.2 percent from July's
558,865 bpd. 'Nothing political behind that, it's due to technical
reasons like maintenances at some Chinese plants,' said a trading
executive with direct knowledge of the trade flow." http://t.uani.com/1uYMV95
Islamic State
Reuters:
"U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday that Iran had a
role to play in a global coalition to tackle Islamic State militants who
have seized swaths of Iraq and Syria and proclaimed a caliphate in the
heart of the Middle East. 'The coalition required to eliminate ISIL
(Islamic State) is not only, or even primarily, military in nature,'
Kerry told a United Nations Security Council meeting on Iraq. 'It must be
comprehensive and include close collaboration across multiple lines of
effort. It's about taking out an entire network, decimating and
discrediting a militant cult masquerading as a religious movement,' he
said. 'There is a role for nearly every country in the world to play,
including Iran.' Kerry's remarks appeared to represent a shift away from
previous U.S. statements indicating a reluctance to cooperate with Iran
to confront the threat of Islamic State." http://t.uani.com/1B1xMVp
Reuters:
"U.S. officials hope to prevent two diplomatic challenges with Iran
from colliding next week: the Iranian nuclear program and the threat
posed by the Islamic State militant group. Their basic dilemma is how to
keep Iran from hardening its stance in the nuclear talks out of a belief,
which U.S. officials say would be misguided, that Washington might make
nuclear concessions in exchange for help against IS. A related problem is
how to address the threat from the Sunni militant group without somehow
enlisting the help of Iran, which has extensive influence in Iraq and in
neighboring Syria. A third difficulty is whether major Sunni states such
as Saudi Arabia will be willing to participate in any coalition against
the Islamic State group if Shi'ite Iran played any role." http://t.uani.com/1uSbbdH
Terrorism
AFP:
"Iran is a cornerstone of stability in the Middle East in the face
of the 'terrorists' rocking the region, President Hassan Rouhani said
Monday before leaving for the United Nations. 'The peoples of the region
are defending themselves, and will continue to defend themselves, against
the terrorists,' Rouhani said in a speech marking the anniversary of the
start of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war. 'The government and armed forces of
the Islamic Republic of Iran will help them everywhere,' he pledged.
'Iran is a cornerstone of stability in this sensitive Middle East
region... today dominated by unrest, security problems, massacres and
fear.'" http://t.uani.com/Z9r1oZ
WashPost:
"Discussions of the terror plot were almost always discreet. So when
the towers burned that September day, many al-Qaeda operatives didn't
know of their group's involvement. Only Osama bin Laden and several top
commanders knew the truth. Now, more than 13 years later, one of those
commanders is back and perhaps more dangerous than ever. On Sept. 11,
2001, Muhsin al-Fadhli had been barely more than a boy, aged 19. But
today the steely-eyed 33-year-old operative is in Syria, leading a group
of clandestine al-Qaeda operatives called 'Khorasan,' which some American
officials said may be more dangerous in some respects than the Islamic
State... Following a stint in a Kuwaiti prison for funding terrorist
activities, he landed in Iran, where the Treasury Department said he was
soon leading an Iranian al-Qaeda cell. In that position, it said, he
'facilitate[d] the travel of extremists to Afghanistan or Iraq via Iran.
... In addition to providing funding for al-Qaeda activities in
Afghanistan and Pakistan, [Fadhli's] network is working to move fighters
and money through Turkey to support al-Qaeda affiliated elements in
Syria.' http://t.uani.com/1shtv15
Reuters:
"Kenyan anti-terror police have detained two Iranian men using
forged Israeli passports to enter the East African country, on suspicion
that they may have been involved in a plan to carry out an attack there,
officials said on Friday... Mwenda Njoka, spokesman for the Ministry of
Interior and Coordination of National Government, said the two Iranians
had passports identifying them as Israeli nationals and had tried to
enter Kenya through its main airport on Thursday. 'The Iranians are
suspected to be terrorists, either coming here as their final destination
or in transit to another destination. The matter is being handled by the
anti-terror police and Interpol,' Njoka told Reuters." http://t.uani.com/1qmGlDN
Opinion &
Analysis
Eric Edelman,
Dennis Ross & Ray Takeyh in WashPost: "As the
United States begins its campaign to destroy the Islamic State, many
voices can be counted on to call for cooperation with Iran. Among those
has been none other than Secretary of State John Kerry, who insisted that
Iran's exclusion from the Paris Conference 'doesn't mean that we are
opposed to the idea of communicating to find out if they will come on
board, or under what circumstances, or whether there is the possibility
of a change.' On the surface, this may seem sensible, as both Washington
and Tehran have an interest in defanging a militant Sunni group. But we
would be wise to bear in mind two points: first, Kerry's proviso on the
possibility of change, and second, that the essential axiom of Middle
East politics is that the enemy of my enemy is sometimes still my enemy.
The ebbs and flows of the war on terrorism should not be allowed to
conceal the fact that the theocratic Iranian regime and its attempt to
upend the regional order remains the United States' most consequential
long-term challenge in the Middle East. The Islamic republic is not a
normal nation-state seeking to realize its legitimate interests but an
ideological entity mired in manufactured conspiracies. A persistent theme
of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's speeches is that the United
States is a declining power whose domestic sources of strength are fast
eroding. In today's disorderly region, Iran sees a unique opportunity to
project its influence and undermine the United States and its system of
alliances. In Afghanistan, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the
misapprehension was born that the United States needed Iran's assistance
to rehabilitate its war-torn charge, and this misbegotten notion has
since migrated from crisis to crisis. The tactical assistance that Iran
offered in Afghanistan in 2001 was largely motivated by its fear of being
the next target of U.S. retribution. Once it was disabused of that
notion, Iran proceeded to lacerate U.S. forces in both Iraq and
Afghanistan by providing munitions and sanctuary to various militias. In
the meantime, Tehran sought steadily to subvert America's allies in the
Persian Gulf and to undermine the security of Israel. Today, in the two
central battlefronts of the Middle East - Syria and Iraq - Iran's
interests are inimical to those of the United States. Iran's stake in
Syria has been made clear by its provision of money, oil, arms, advisers
and, most important, Hezbollah shock troops to prop up the regime of
Bashar al-Assad. The United States' interests, meanwhile, strongly argue
against working with Iran against the Islamic State in Syria lest we lose
the very Sunni support that will be necessary to eradicate the group. By
taking a firm stand in Syria against both Assad and the Islamic State, we
can send a strong signal to Iran's leaders that the price for its
troublemaking is going to rise. Similarly in Iraq, any putative alliance
with Iran would undo much of what the United States has attempted to
accomplish there - the creation of a pluralistic, unitary state that does
not represent a threat to itself or its neighbors and which is not a base
for terrorism... During the past decade, and over two administrations,
the United States has been effective in estranging Iran from its European
and even Asian customers. But Washington has not affected Iran's position
in the Middle East to the same degree. Beyond arms sales to Arab states
and attempts to assuage Israeli concerns, the United States has not undertaken
a systematic effort to isolate Iran in its immediate neighborhood.
Instead of pursuing the chimera of cooperation with the likes of
Khamenei, Washington should contest all of Iran's regional assets. From
the Shiite slums of Baghdad to the battlefields of Syria, Iran should be
confronted with a new, inhospitable reality as it searches for partners.
The United States and Iran stand at opposite ends of the spectrum of
Middle East politics. The Islamic republic's ideological compulsions and
sheer opportunism make it an unlikely ally for the West. The coincidence
of mutual opposition to a radical Sunni terrorist group should not blind
us to the enduring threat that the mullahs represent." http://t.uani.com/1rgafxj
Philip Smyth in
FP: "Armed men posing with severed heads, massacres
of mosque-goers during Friday prayers, massive reliance on transnational
jihadists -- these are crimes that are usually associated with the
Islamic State (IS). However, they're also the actions of some of Iraq's
growing Shiite militia organizations, which are playing an increasingly
prominent role in fighting the Sunni jihadists. These groups, many of
which have deep ideological and organizational links to Iran, are
sweeping away what is left of any notion of the Baghdad government's
authority -- and represent a massive challenge to President Barack
Obama's stated goal of working with an inclusive Iraqi government to push
back IS. Over 50 Shiite militias are now recruiting and fighting in Iraq.
These groups are actively recruiting -- drawing potential soldiers away
from the Iraqi army and police and bringing fighters into highly
ideological, anti-American, and rabidly sectarian organizations. Many of
these trainees are not simply being used to push back Sunni jihadists,
but in many cases form a rear guard used to control districts that are
supposedly under Baghdad's control. Shiite militias have embedded
themselves within the structures of the Iraqi government, which has
become far too reliant on their power to contemplate cracking down on
them. Together, they have committed horrifying human rights abuses: In
early June, Shiite militias, along with Iraqi security forces, reportedly
executed around 255 prisoners, including children. An Amnesty
International report from June detailed how Shiite militias regularly
carried out extrajudicial summary executions, and reported that dozens of
Sunni prisoners were killed in government buildings. The militias also
played a leading role in the liberation of the besieged Shiite Turkmen
town of Amerli. Kataib Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated terrorist group and
direct Iranian proxy, even used Iraqi government helicopters to deliver
arms and other supplies during the battle. Just as IS has captured and
used U.S.-supplied vehicles, U.S.-made M1A1 Abrams tanks provided to the
Iraqi government have flown sectarian Shiite banners and supported Kataib
Hezbollah operations. Those tanks are not alone: U.S.-made armored
Humvees, which Kataib Hezbollah once targeted during the Iraq War with
rocket-propelled grenades (when driven by Americans), have also been
taken by the militia and used in operations. Iran has led the way in
developing Iraq's Shiite militias. Since May 2013, Tehran has bolstered
its network of new and old Iraqi proxy groups to provide a steady flow of
fighters to Syria. Some of these Iraqi forces, who had been fighting on
behalf of President Bashar al-Assad's regime, redeployed back to Iraq and
form the nucleus of newer militia groups which are currently fighting the
Baghdad government's Sunni enemies. Due to Iran's Syria-focused
recruitment efforts, Tehran's proxies also had a leg up on pulling in new
fighters for the Iraq front. In April, Iran-backed groups such as Kataib
Hezbollah, Badr, and Asaib Ahl al-Haq called for fresh recruits to fight
in Iraq. Eventually, these calls morphed into Iraqi Shiite militias
spinning off popular committee-based militias under their command. While
the creation of so many groups may seem unnecessarily complicated, it
actually helps create the image of wide-ranging popular support for
militias promoting Iran's policies and ideology. Furthermore, it allows
established groups to more easily separate new, less-experienced
volunteers from career militiamen... The growth of these pro-Iranian
Shiite militias, and many more like them, helps demonstrate Iran's goals
for the domination of Shiite Iraq. These groups not only benefit from
Iran's patronage and organizational capabilities -- they also all march
to Tehran's ideological tune. They are loyal to Iran's Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Khamenei and Iran's ideology of absolute wilayat-e faqih, which
grants the supreme leader ultimate political and religious authority.
They also follow the model of Iran's Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah, and are
intent on executing Iran's will in the region and furthering Iran's
'Islamic Revolution.' Just as IS's stated aim is to erase the borders
that were drawn in the Middle East following the end of World War I,
Iranian-backed Shiite militias are also taking part in this process. The
cross-pollination between Syrian and Iraqi Shiite militias has eroded
national boundaries as surely as the Sunni jihadist campaign: From the
beginning of their involvement in both conflicts, Shiite militias have
adopted a narrative that they will 'defend shrines' or 'defend Shiites,'
no matter their geographic location." http://t.uani.com/ZC0MYf
Emily Landau in
Times of Israel: "As we move to the November 24
deadline for P5+1-Iran negotiations on a comprehensive nuclear deal, the
issue of Iran's past weaponization activities is becoming critical.
Iran's most recent stonewalling on the IAEA's outstanding questions
regarding what it calls the 'Possible Military Dimensions' (PMD) of
Iran's program was evident when Iran missed the August 25th deadline for
providing answers (then claiming it never agreed to the deadline).
Meanwhile, Iran continued to prevent entry into the military facility at
Parchin, where it is suspected of carrying out activities relating to its
military nuclear program. A debate has been ongoing over the past year
among officials and non-official arms control experts on the importance
of confronting Iran on the weaponization issue. In early June, my INSS
colleagues Ephraim Asculai, Shimon Stein and I made the case for the need
to include the weaponization aspects of Iran's program. In a recent
article in Foreign Policy, Jeffrey Lewis claims that making Iran come
clean about its past nuclear weapons activities before a deal is secured
is 'a terrible idea', potentially devastating for the prospects of a nuclear
deal. His piece underscored for me the need to re-emphasize what the real
problem is, and why it is truly imperative to press Iran on this issue.
Iran must be pressed on its military nuclear activities, not in order to
humiliate it, nor to serve the agenda of those Lewis describes who are
'ideologically opposed to any deal at all.' Quite the contrary. Insisting
Iran be confronted with the evidence has everything to do with enhancing
the prospects of getting a comprehensive nuclear deal with Iran. Not just
any nuclear deal - a good and effective nuclear deal. A deal that will
actually eliminate Iran's ability to quickly move to a military nuclear
capability at a time of its choosing. Lewis does concede that Iranian
disclosures of past military work might possibly boost the international
community's ability to forge adequate verification measures for a
comprehensive deal. But that is only part of the story. The more
important reason for insisting that Iran admit its past work on a
military nuclear program is to dispense with Iran's narrative that it has
'done no wrong' in the nuclear realm. You might be thinking: Iran's
narrative? Is this negotiation about narratives or state interests? When
considering how negotiations have unfolded over the past decade, the
answer is that of course interests are the basis for Iran's desperate
attempt to hold on to its breakout capability. But narratives are woven
into the negotiations dynamic, and can make a huge difference as far as
getting the deal the P5+1 say they want. Iran's narrative plays to its
clear advantage. Since 2003, Iran has stuck by its story that it has
'done no wrong' in the nuclear realm; it repeats incessantly that no
corroborative evidence has been produced that it has worked on a military
program. Iran's ability to hang on to its story is a powerful asset in
negotiations, paving the way for the bizarre dynamic whereby the P5+1
negotiators demand that Iran back away from its military ambitions, while
Iran denies these ambitions exist. As incredible as it may sound - and
even though most officials (and experts) know that Iran has worked on a
military program - the narrative has created enormous difficulties for
negotiators over the years. The steadfast Iranian claim has effectively
undercut the alternative P5+1 narrative, and has considerably weakened
the hand of the international negotiators facing Iran. Indeed, for years
the question mark floating over Iran's military activities has bolstered
those who accuse the West of building a false case against Iran, as it
did regarding Iraq's WMD capabilities. Even today, Iran's dogged
narrative enables some of the P5+1 parties - most notably Russia - to
continue to insist that there is no evidence of military nuclear activity
in Iran. Iran's narrative must be discredited, and the charade must end.
In fact, if Iran was confronted with clear-cut evidence that it had
worked on a military nuclear program for years, the case for taking a
harsh international approach would gain considerable traction. It would
help the P5+1 tremendously with their demand for significant
dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program. Today Iran refuses outright to
even consider any dismantlement, because, of course, 'it has done no
wrong.'" http://t.uani.com/1B1DW7V
