West had no option but to choose negotiating table: Iranian official, Tehran Times, February 21, 2014
(If the West were decisive and insisted on inspection of Iran’s missile and warhead development sites as well as other sites used for military purposes, the talks would not proceed as Iran — in sincere good faith, of course — desires. — DM)
“Indecision on the part of the other side in the process of talks can be one of the main factors that can inflict irreversible damage on the West despite Iran’s show of sincere good faith in negotiations,” he said.
TEHRAN – Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Ali Shamkhani, said on Thursday that the West had no option but to choose the negotiating table to engage Iran on the dispute over the country’s nuclear program.
Iran and the major powers held talks in Vienna from Tuesday to Thursday in pursuit of a final deal on Tehran’s nuclear program. They agreed to meet again in the Austrian capital on March 17.
Shamkhani also said, “If negotiators of the other side were to continue making unreasonable excuses during nuclear talks and follow the path of hostility instead of that of interaction, we state that the window of interaction and cooperation will not remain open forever.”
“Indecision on the part of the other side in the process of talks can be one of the main factors that can inflict irreversible damage on the West despite Iran’s show of sincere good faith in negotiations,” he said.
He went on to say that it is a misconception that the sanctions against Iran have affected the country’s approach toward nuclear talks.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he said that Iran has started a new confidence-building campaign in order to show its goodwill to the world, adding that the Islamic Republic intends to demonstrate its honesty in regard to its nuclear program which is meant for peaceful purposes.
“Members of the negotiating team are representing the political will of the system to have constructive interaction on the international stage,” he said.

Iran is not making the same mistake as Iraq by allowing “ÏAEA” inspections of their military complexes like Parchin. Furthermore Iran is right, since an attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities is no option, the only other option is to negotiate.

renbe get with the program no civilized country wants to attack another but your country is on the verge of at least some serious damage and worst total destruction,you have only an imaginary capacity to defend yourselves,at some point your bluff will be irreverent,If israel attacks you your history and you know it,i would spend your time on here trying to reason as your bluff just makes an attack more likely,If you dont let the IAEA fully inspect and close down you can guarantee attack and the end of your country,unfortunately your enemy’s are not bluffing
