Drawing a red line with Iran

Enriched offer
by Anatol Lieven & Trita Parsi
29-Jul-2008
 

Below, please see an op-ed that Anatol Lieven and I published in the International Herald Tribune on the need for real red lines with Iran that are rooted in international rules and that enjoys the support of not just the EU, but Russia, China and India as well. Essentially, we are arguing that a nuclear armed Iran can be prevented if we begin treating the NPT as an asset rather than a burden and shift our bottom line to “no nuclear weapon” rather than “no uranium enrichment.”  -- Trita Parsi

The Bush administration's decision to open direct contacts with Iran is to be welcomed, but precisely because it marks such a break with previous U.S. policy, it also carries a great danger. This is that hard-liners in the American and Israeli governments will treat this Western proposal as a last chance for the Iranians, to be followed by an attack if Tehran fails to accept it.

Meanwhile, it is already clear that much of the Iranian establishment interprets the latest Western conditions not as a final red line, but as yet another pink line, a vague basis for further negotiations. In consequence, it is unlikely that the Iranians will agree to a complete suspension of uranium enrichment within the six-week deadline set by the West.

Apart from anything else, Iranian leaders know that as long as they stop short of weaponization, neither the Europeans nor much of the U.S. uniformed military will approve an attack on Iran, with all its potentially devastating consequences for Western security. An attack will open up disastrous splits not only between the United States and Europe, but possibly within the U.S. security establishment itself.

If we in the West are to set a genuine red line that the Iranians can recognize as such, two interlinked things are necessary. This line needs to be rooted in international rules that the Iranians themselves have formally recognized, and it needs to have the full support not only of the Europeans, but of the Russians, Chinese and Indians as well.

In other words, our red line must be strict, verifiable adherence to the terms of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, or NTP, accompanied by a list of detailed, concrete and severe sanctions that leading members of the international community undertake to impose if Iran breaks the treaty and moves to weaponization.

The nonproliferation treaty - with all its flaws - must therefore be treated by the West as an asset rather than a burden.

According to Hans Blix, former director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the idea that Iran's past violations and secretiveness has canceled out its right to uranium enrichment under the treaty is a "thin legal argument." Even officials of the U.S. State Department are privately beginning to admit Iran's right to enrichment, and the dead end into which the current strategy has led the West.

On the other hand, the nonproliferation treaty does provide the West with a very strong legal ground to pursue what should be our red line: to place a verifiable cap on Iranian enrichment and other nuclear capabilities well short of weaponization.

This is a red line that all states of the UN Security Council agree on, and which Iran itself has always said that it accepts. Through the NPT, Tehran can be held to its own oft-repeated position that it does not want weapons and that its program is for peaceful purposes only.

Russia, China and India all strongly dislike being forced to support what they regard as unilateral and illegal American pressure on Iran, but equally, strongly oppose Iran developing nuclear weapons.

The NPT therefore gives the West a strong basis on which to go to these countries and say: We will go back to the letter of the nonproliferation treaty and allow strictly limited and inspected Iranian enrichment if you will sign a binding international agreement setting out in public, in detail and in advance the sanctions that you and the other signatory nations will impose if Iran moves toward weaponization.

These threats should include removing Iran from all international organizations, ending outside investment, imposing a full trade embargo, ending - as far as possible - all international flights to Iran, and inspecting all transport headed to that country.

By way of an additional incentive, Russia or China might be allowed to appear to take the diplomatic lead in this mater, boosting their regime's international status and domestic prestige.

On the other hand, Russia in particular should be clearly warned that if Iran did weaponize and Moscow failed to impose the sanctions that they had promised, the results would be an increase in anti-Russian policies by the West across the entire spectrum of our relations.

Such a deal is the best that we can realistically hope for. The Iranian establishment has talked itself into a position where it would be virtually impossible for Tehran to abandon enrichment altogether.

As for an attack on Iran, this would at best only delay the Iranian program, while catastrophically undermining American efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and indeed the entire U.S. position in the Muslim world. A settlement along these lines, on the other hand, would prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon and open the way for a resumption of the aid that Tehran provided in 2001 against Al Qaeda and the Taliban, which we badly need and which the Bush administration spurned.

Anonym7, “defending

by Farhad Kashani on

Anonym7, “defending Iran”? Now you’ve really done it ! How is it “defending” Iran when every single human rights organization, NGO and United nation report, and most Iranians,  shows that IRI is one of the biggest human rights violators in the world? Hows killing, imprisoning, torturing, and silencing Iranians “defending” Iran? Hows ruining the economy “defending” Iran? Hows war mongering non stop for 30 years inviting U.S, Israel, Iraq and others to a war in order for the Imam Zaman’s coming, “defending” Iran? Hows taking Iran into the longest war in the 20th century “defending” Iran? Hows destroying everything Iran stood for thousands of years, such as respect of life, respect for other cultures, respect for human dignity “defending” Iran? Hows being the sole biggest sponsor of Islamic terrorism “defending” Iran? How’s giving up 37% of Iranian share in the Caspian Sea (from 50% to now 13%) to Russia, “defending” Iran?

How do you defend Iran by destroying it, how Anonym7?

 

Also, I’m glad you finally admitted that “you don’t care how long IRI lasts”! That’s what I’ve been trying go tell you along, that I UDERSTAND that you guys don’t care, and actually wish, for the IRI to live longer. For the vast majority of Iranians, the single and most important issue they “care about”, is how to get rid of the Islamic regime. When the regime is removed and replaced with a secular government that respects Iranians and the world, the chances of war with Iran will minimize, that’s all. Until the regime is in power, the shadow of war will always be there.

  

Roshanbean, it is in nature of human being to look for “peace”. Even if Ghanghiz Khan would’ve had his way without going to war, he would’ve done it. No one “wants” war. The difference between us and you guys is we are offering realistic and correct solution to the problem, unlike you guys, which your whole argument surrounds around blind anti American bashing without any regard to facts and truth. You guys hate America more than you love Iran. We love both Iran and America. We say the way to prevent a war with Iran goes through the removal of the IRI regime or bringing it down to its knees, not by bashing the U.S, not by calling people “AIPAC”, not by bashing AIPAC, not bashing Arabs, not by bashing Obama, not by bashing Bush. Yes, Bush is to be bashed for many things, I bash him all the time, and never voted for him either times, but when it comes to Iran, the IRI regime is at fault, and no one else.

 

And my real name is Tila Tequila. Is your real name Roshanbean?

if Pakistan is rendered... (tp Craig)

Craig says: "if Pakistan is rendered a radioactive wasteland in teh coming years?"

Good afternoon Craig,
Regarding your above statement, as you my know Pakistanis are capable of producing tens of nukes a year (~50). I understand your frustration that things are going very badly there, but why are you having your tantrums here with us? Afterall Pakistan/Afghan problem is the cold war creation of the ultra right such as yourself.
Anyhow with potentially tens of nukes in Pakistan if likes of you actually follow through with your above dream, not only Pakistan but also the whole world will be a radio active wasteland!
BTW I still don't understand your contempt for me and Yek Irani, is it Yek Irani's logo by any chance that you don't like?

I could care less what your opinions are. If Iranians like you do get your wish (war) you will be the vbery FIRST ones on thos webiste to be crying about how horrible it all is. I hope everyone remembers how hateful the language you were using now is, then. If they forget, I will be here with my unsurpassed  copy/paste capabilities.

Bush declared victory in 2003 (to Craig)

by Anonym7 (not verified) on

Programmer Craig says: "What part of "I have nothing but contempt for Iranians like Anonym7 and Yek Irani" didn't you understand? lol. ...... Many people here are looking for victory. "

Good morning Craig,
...yes I have known about your contempt and very deep hatred for many of us Iranians for quite sometime, and I appreciate that you continuously let me know about that. I also realize you represent a very small but dangerous minority that will do anything to start a war against Iran. That is precisely why I believe Iran must put MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) in place at any cost and anyway it can.
As I said before, MAD needs to be put in place because mad fascists such as Israeli Benny Morris, Mofaz, and their followers in the U.S (AIPAC etc) only understand MAD; absolute majority of Americans and even Israelies are not looking for war but they may not be able to stop these warmongers.
Iranians including myself are not looking for war and therefore victory, we just want to make sure we stop your type from attacking Iran.
Likes of you are the ones who have destroyed a country and wasted many lives (including American lives) looking for "victory", ...., and in fact declared victory prematurely (//news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2989459.stm)

regarding the topic (to Kashani)

by Anonym7 (not verified) on

Kashani_jAn, although I wish IRI continued success with defending Iran, I am not concerned how long IRI is going to exist. Like many other Iranians (and Iranian-Americans) I believe a secular Iran is the best option and an inevitable one. I am however against pushing that option through war or sanctions and installing lunatics such as MEK or incompetent and U.S controlled characters such as yourself (with all due respect).

Anonym7, it is one thing to

by Farhad Kashani on

Anonym7, it is one thing to read news, another to take everything you read at face value. It seems like some of you guys do that. There is something called interpretation and analysis of news, read between the lines and so forth.

 

I just mentioned a quote from Rafsanjani regarding Iran’s role in Iraq, what do you think he meant? Also, let me ask you a question, do you think that it possible at all, just like the Nazis who inspired other white supremacists and other Nazi groups around the world to establish and operate, and just like the Soviet revolution which inspired other communists and leftists groups around the world to establish and operate, why do you think it is not possible that the Islamic regime inspires other Islamic groups to establish and operate? I mean all you gotta do is listen to regime itself when they claim “we have exported our revolution”, and you can listen to numerous Islamic terrorist figures, such as Bin Laden, claiming that Khomeini is their idol. Not everything can be figured out using numbers and satellite images. This is how America is different than the cold war era. During those days, America, and the world, realized how the USSR inspired other communist regimes, now, they are unable to understand how the IRI is inspiring other Islamic groups, because during Bush presidency, American government became more and more like a corporation. It looks at everything as numbers, that’s why they are unable to realize whats going on. On the other hand, you guys have absolutely taken advantage of this and are kicking America when its down. But take my word, once Bush is gone, the IRIs days are numbered, because the IRI has dag itself into a big hole, and endangering the lifes of our people, by kicking America when its down and really speeding up its anti American policies and actions, and non-Bush American politicians, like Obama, are realizing exactly what level of threat the IRI represents. So brace yourself.

more tantrum over nuclear issu? (to Programmer Craig)

by Anonym7 (not verified) on

Carig says: "I have nothing but contempt for Iranians like Anonym7 and Yek Irani" ....... "Ask around. Talk to Americans"

Hey Craig, I thought your tantrum was over yesterday!? I can't speak for Yek Irani, but I appreciate your honesty. Your honesty compensates for your shallow level of political knowledge. As you know some of my countrymen here have the same ultra right wing views but they are not nearly as honest as you are.
Anyhow, I don't know the reason for your latest tantrum but as I stated below I am very pro American, in fact the biggest loves of my life (my wife and kid(s)) are as American as macaroni and cheese, my best friends (including one whose son serves in Iraq) are American and I mainly talk to Americans .... and that adds to my motivation for arguing with warmongers such as your majesty. .... I don't like extremist such as Iranian versions of Ahmad Chalabi, or Israelis to drag my adapted home and my home to war. Looking forward to increase your contempt for me! :)

Why do you come on Iranian.com and use threatening and insulting language toward Iranians?

But you are 100% OK with Iranians coming on here (a webiste dedicated to Iranian AMericans) and using threatening and insulting language towards the United States, and towards Americans? Interesting. Well, George, if you kept your contrymen in line, maybe I wouldn't have to. 

PS to Anonym7,

I believe it is very good that people like Programmer Craig post here. He represents the view of a small minority

You are high as a kite if you thinka  majority of AMericans are in any way "OK" with the views of people like you, Anonym7. A solid majority of Americans would be 100% OK with hostage taking terrorist sympathizers like you being locked up in American prisons. Don't belive it? Ask around. Talk to Americans (not Iranian-Americans) teh way you talk on this website, and see what kind of reaction you get.

obsession with Iran (to Kashani)

by Anonym7 (not verified) on

Kashani, as you mentioned before you don't care about the corporate news, CNN, and even foxnews which is closely associated with the AIPAC/Neocon politics that you support. I recommend you reconsider your view on corporate news and follow them, so you realize Iran's stabilizing impact on both Iraq and Afghanistan. Furthermore you will realize that for their own sake U.S and Israel should get a hang of their obsession with Iran ..... look what a monster U.S cold war obsession with Russia created in Pakistan/Afghanistan:
(//www.foxnews.com/world/index.html)
"CIA confronts Pakistani officials with evidence that the country's spy service has deepened militant ties"

...... like it or not U.S and Israel have to stop threats and work with Iran, in time Iranians themselves will sort out theirs issues with IRI, as you correctly mentioned absolute majority of us Iranians are pro American ..... at the same time we (not f. Kashani) don't like our country bullied.

Farhad Kashani

Anonym7, please stop being

by Farhad Kashani on

Anonym7, please stop being naïve. I would highly recommend you to listen to what the regime officials say from time to time. They don’t even deny that they are “countering the U.S in Iraq”. Rafsanjani himself said that the “U.S ran into a wall created by Iran in Iraq”. How do they think they do that? Obviously by assisting Islamic groups in that country. How is providing inspirational and material support to groups that hold arms against the democratically elected government and massacring people in massive numbers, “helping stabilize Iraq” ?

 

U.S or Israel are not threatening “Iran”, rather, they are countering the Iranian regime. The reason for that is that the regime started a blind anti Israeli and Anti U.S (The keyword is blind) movement in 1979, now, it has reached a point that it is threatening Israel and U.S national security. What do you except U.S to do? Shut up and take it? Offcourse they will react. Opposing U.S is one thing and sacrificing your country in the name of some BS enviousness towards U.S and Israel is absolutely another. No one is saying you shouldn’t oppose the U.S. Many countries such as China oppose the U.S, but they do that in a civilized fashion, they didn’t sacrifice their country in that path, and they still have relations with the U.S to better their country. Find the problem in the regime, not others.

Dear "Craig",

On the contrary, you seem to have a lot of contempt for Iranians. Why do you come on Iranian.com and use threatening and insulting language toward Iranians? For example:

"My people would have done a hell of a job on your people 2000 years ago."

"...you rely on the US being more civilized and humane tahn you are. You expect us to continue indulging you... forever. Someday, you are gonna get a spanking. And it's gonna hurt like hell."

I wish IRI total success (to Kashni and Craig)

by Anonym7 (not verified) on

Kashni says: "Vast majority of Iranians are friends with the U.S and are anti regime."

You are right Kashani. Vast majority of Iranians including myself are U.S friend and even IRI is not by any means U.S enemy. That is why IRI i.e., the soft power in Iraq has helped with stability in Iraq. That is why IRI has helped with the Afghan situation from the outset.
On the other hand U.S and Israel have become more and more aggressive despite their humiliating losses, and continue to threaten Iran.
Now, since I am not living in Iran it is NOT correct for me to say that Iran (IRI) should build or should not build the bomb, but IF they are building the bomb I wish them total success because MAD will stop the mad Israeli extremists and their supporters in the U.S. to attack Iran. Fascists like Mofaz only understand MAD.

First off, my family came to North America in the 17th century. They emigrated to Britain in the 5th century, from "Denmark". I'm Christian... Proetsant, to be specific. My family has been Christian for ~1200 years. Before that, they worshipped teh Norse gods. My citzenship is US. And none other.

But why did you call me israeli? Why not just accuse me of being a Jew, and be done with it? Isn't that what IslamoFascists such as yourself do? :P

Iran has 3000 years of written history and close to 7000 years of archeological history.

So? What does that have to do with your severe mental illness? If persians were as sick as you thousands of years ago, they never would have amounted to much. Why do you take credit for the accomplishments of your betters?

In our long history our country has gone through quite a lot. And we still exist.

perhaps not for much longer, if you have your way!

Go compare that with 60 years of puny Israeli history

Lets compare the last 60 years, only? How about that one?

and 300 years of the US history.

Lol. My people would have done a hell of a job on your people 2000 years ago. They did on the Romans! Maybe we can still manage it today. What do you think? We're pretty civilized these days, but my ancestral tongue is English. How do you think an obscure germanic tribal dialect came to be spoken by so many people all over the world, Yek Irani? Isit because we are weak and incompetent?

We’ll accomplish our dreams. And if you have a problem with that, as Gorge W. Bush said; bring it on. Don’t say we’ll destroy you like a broken record. You have been saying that for 5 years. It’s not working

And why is it you have such a fascination with picking fights you can't win? Will you feel better about Iran if you do successfully provoke the US into obliterating it? Mind boggling. I think you talk this bold talk only because you rely on the US being more civilized and humane tahn you are. You expect us to continue indulging you... forever. Someday, you are gonna get a spanking. And it's gonna hurt like hell.

Yek Irani, Anonym7

by programmer craig on

The same thing that Israel can’t accomplish without nuclear
weapons.

Seems like Israel has accomplished quite a lot, without nuclear weapons. How would Iran have fared in the 1980s, if it was a nation of only several million people? There wouldn't even be a place called "Iran" right now, would there? And Iraq would extend all teh way to Afghanistan. Right?

I think you make a major mistake, advocating for war between Iran and Israel. Nuclear, or not. Iran won't win that one.

Your argument applies to everybody. When all countries start disposing of their NW, then Iran should do the same.Iran probably has the NW already; otherwise it would have been attacked. They just have to perfect their delivery system. That’s all

I see. Well, you better hope you are wrong. Without a delivery system, a nuclear first strike by a major nuclear power could completely remove the Iranian threat to use nuclear weapons. This is the part of the equation you refuise to see.

Anonym7,

Yek Irani, I hope you are right. MAD (mutually assured destruction) is the only language that mad extremist Israelis and their AIPAC allies in the U.S understand.

Iran will never be capable of fulfilling the "mutual" part of the MAD doctrine. Which makes Iranian desire for nuclear brinksmanship particularly foolish. It's tantamount yo a national death wish. The destruction would be completely one sided.

PS- If any percentage of Iranians think as the two of you do, then I would completely change my position re: War on Iran. If people like you are common in Iran, then Iran must be invaded immediately.

by Yek Irani on

Do you think Israelis and their puppets in the US would have waited a second to attack Iran and wait for Iranians to work on their atom bombs, if didn’t think Israel would be converted to a multi level parking lot afterwards? They just attacked Syria because a building didn’t look right.

Nuclear Weapons Club: "Crying Wolf" by the wolves.

by Tafreshi on

 

I agree with Mr Parsi's article regarding Iran's nuclear energy project. It's amazing how the members of the Nuclear Weapons Club make the loudest noise while disregarding their own intelligence report indicating Iran is not developing nuclear weapons.

On top of it, some of the club members threaten to attack Iran with nuclear bombs. What does it mean? It means if nuclear weapons is used against their advesaries it' OK. It's amazing how they try to bully others. Can anybody blieve these people. Can they hide their real motives behind this tragic circus?
