It is too early to make any definitive conclusions about the situation surrounding Iran’s nuclear program, said Vladimir Sotnikov of the Institute of the World Economy and International Relations.
Iran has vowed to step up its uranium enrichment program by building 10 new sites. It accuses the West of provoking the move, after the International Atomic Energy Agency called for an immediate halt to the country’s enrichment activities.
“Of course, the decision by Iranians is pushing away Iran from constructive dialogue with the Western countries, but there might also be some nuances we can see in the future,” Sotnikov said. “Because in the past, several times, Iranians claimed they were not willing to conduct any more negotiations, but then they returned to the negotiation table.”
He also added that it is unlikely Iran will sever ties with the IAEA.
“Iran might actually lessen the level of its relations with International Atomic Energy Agency and probably might not let nuclear inspectors from IAEA on Iranian soil, but to completely break with the IAEA is not a good solution for the Iranians,” he said.

It would probably be a good idea, since financial consultant Jim Rickards, who is VERY well connected with the big money interests on Wall Street (They run America, if you haven't already noticed) was on the financial channel CNBC US TV this very day. When asked for a prediction, as the segment was ending, he said that Israel plans to attack Iran in the spring of 2010 unless progress is made before then. Would he risk being thought of as a fool by saying that, if he didn't know something? I tend to doubt it. I guess the US isn't holding all those joint missile defense exercises in Israel for nothing. Spring might not be a good time to visit the Middle East. When the Iranians start blowing up stuff all over the world, RT might have to expand its news staff. At least Christmas will be over before the bombs start falling. Don't celebrate the high oil prices just yet. Wars that start out small can spread fast with missiles and nukes.
