GENEVA – Six world powers held talks with Iran on Thursday that U.S. officials said would need to convince them Tehran was prepared to show it was not hiding plans for a nuclear bomb.

Underlining they would not threaten fresh sanctions against Tehran but had prepared them in case the talks made no progress, Washington also said there could be an opportunity for a rare bilateral meeting with the Iranians.

"This can't be a phony process," a senior U.S. official said in Washington. "It can't be a process where they go through the motions."

U.S. diplomats sat alongside those from Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China for the talks near Geneva on how to end the long-running standoff over Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran says is designed purely for generating electricity.

Is the irony lost to people that the so called G3+3 or the magnificent 4 plus also-there 2, or arrogant 1 plus lackeys 2, or Captain America and his faithful wards, are all armed to their teeth nuclear nations, in possession of the biggest armies in the history of humanity, at least 3 of whom are in violation of many international laws, and at least two of whom are currently occupying lands they have no business of being there?  Is the irony lost that these guardians of the world are the biggest merchants of arms in the world, and the biggest exporters are the so-called weapons of mass destruction technology?  Just thinking out loud.
