Obama: Iran to be very successful regional power

[IRAN 1802]

US President Barack Obama acknowledges that Iran would become a “very successful regional power” if a long-term nuclear agreement is reached.

“They have got a chance to get right with the world,” Obama said in an interview with NPR News, which was taped at the White House on Dec. 18 and aired on Monday.

More than a year ago, Iran agreed to an interim agreement to suspend 20-percent uranium enrichment in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions pending on a long-term deal.

Despite progress in the talks, Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- China, Russia, Britain, France, and the United States -- plus Germany failed to clinch a final deal by a Nov. 24 deadline. The talks have now been extended until July 1, 2015.

Tehran maintains that the issue of sanctions, not the level of uranium enrichment, is the main stumbling block to reaching a comprehensive deal.

In the interview, Obama said Iran should seize the chance of a long-term deal that could lift the sanctions.

“Because if they do, there’s incredible talent and resources and sophistication inside of Iran and it would be a very successful regional power that was also abiding by international norms and international rules – and that would be good for everybody,” the US president said.

Obama was asked whether his moves earlier this month to restore relations with Cuba might lead to similar steps with Iran, including opening an embassy in Tehran. He said Iran and Cuba were not comparable, but added, "I never say never."

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has released a new report, confirming Iran’s commitment to the interim deal it signed with the P5+1 group in 2013.

We've already passed the " very successful regional power" level, good morning Barak !

So you are a Global power now ?

 

[Beast]

Main stumbling block for Iran is Israel and not US.

So you are a Global power now ?

we don't have the military budget to project that, yet, but you never know...1-2 decades with the right government and right situation in the world ... if we got to satellite carriers from simple katyusha rockets ...going from regional to global is not out of reach for us !

What's with this satellite fetish of Iranians? Has there been any satellite in Iran which is above 60kg and could not be built by any ordinary Western university? Talking about being a global power...

 

[Kiarash]

Your butt hearts cuz u can't build anything by urself? pour cold water on it, it helps
first manage to put half a kilo up there then come and talk shyt !!!

Lets see how long it will take you torks to even put a 10kg satellites in orbit.
A country which does not even have launch capability is trying to mock one whom has already put multiple satellites in orbit and has developed solid fuel SLV which your country will not have this century.

Satellite technology is one thing, but being able to put something in orbit is something else. This is something which you torks will not accomplish within this century

Ok bro, I'll pretend that we don't have a 400kg indigenous satellite in the orbit right now to save myself from the butthürt flowing through you.

Once again you show your level of intellect. Many countries can build satellites, your satellite was probably made in some EU country anyway. torks are famous for claiming other designs as their own, e.g altay and A-129.

What matters is having launch capability. Something which you will not have this century. Only way you will have it is if you beg for it from NATO like you begged for the patriot system to be brought to torkey to defend you against Syria.

Sending a monkey to a glorious death is one thing, sending a 500kg sattelite into orbit is another.

By your logic, North Korea = US

To be regional power you have to have regional allies. That is actually the "regional" in "regional power".

-Pakistan: you are bombarding them with your rockets

-Azerbaijan: you threaten them with war

-Turkey: friendly/wants to help but you always are looking for ways to backstab us or cheat us. Recently with truck free for example.

-Syria: Assad will never come back to power. Soon Iranian influence will be zeroed

 

[ResurgentIran]

And once again, we see Turk members initiating hostility in the Iranian section, out of the blue.
Let this be an eye-opener for guys like @xenon54 (thatpretend they are so rational and neutral minded), who is too stubborn to admit that the problem behind most Iran-Turkey shit talk in PDF is the hostility of the Turkish members. Now you can directly see who started what, for no apparent reason.

@Serpentine
I tried respecting your wish earlier. But as you can see, these guys simply cant control themselves.

Iran already has enough influence in the region. Recently, even Yemen is starting to fall under Iranian control
Reality is, Iranian influence in the region is unparalleled.
You put some random nations as if they matter.

Torkey has no significance in the region. they have no influence and at most they are a transit route for ISIS terrorist to go into Syria.

Azerbaijan is a fake soviet state run by a braindead pan tork. This country is so weak and pathetic that even Armenia checks it.

Pakistan is a brotherly nation, we have some problems now but future is bright for us.

How does this comment even make any sense?

You do not have any launch capability and you attempt to compare yourself to Iran. What a joke.
Come back when you can even put a 1kg object into space

@ResurgentIran Not my problem if your compatriots can't handle a simple question without trolling. The conversation is there for everybody to read so stop playing the victim.
