In a confidential January 6 meeting with International Atomic Energy Head Amano, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, the Iranian emissary to the agency, insisted that Iran would exchange enriched uranium only if simultaneously provided research reactor uranium and only in Iran.
On January 16, representatives from the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Russia and China failed to reach any determination concerning measures to halt Iranian development of nuclear weapons. The only decision made by the six nations was to meet again in the future, but no date was set.
Yesterday, January 19, the Jerusalem Post reported:
"Iran has not been deterred from its march to the nuclear bomb, and one-time ally Turkey is drawing closer to the side of Islamic radicals and further from Israel and the West, OC Military Intelligence Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin warned on Tuesday."

A direct connection between Iranian nuclear ambitions and Turkish ambivalence to Israel and the West? You better believe it. The Turks are carefully scrutinizing Obama's reluctance to confront Iran and adapting their foreign policy in accordance therewith:
- Distancing themselves from one-time ally Israel.
- Reaching out to Iran.
- Settling their differences with Syria.
Turkey's embrace of Iranian radicalism is an additional unforeseen consequence of Obama's appeasement policy, which is bringing the Middle East to the brink of a multi-front war.
