Hasta la Vista, Baby...To Nuclear Proliferation? US and Iran Play Hide-and-Seek Over Atomic Accord

I'll Be Back... At the Negotiating Table

Affirmative. I have infiltrated the news stream. Mission: Report on the Iran U.S. nuclear situation. Negotiations have commenced round four. Location: Oman. It seems these organic units are trying to avoid a 'Judgment Day' scenario. But as I have learned there is no fate but what we make for ourselves but if these negotiations fail it will get very hot very quickly. Trump is scheduled to visit the Middle East I wonder if he will be driving a Hummer.

Difficult But Useful: A Terminator's Guide to Diplomacy

The humans are calling the talks 'difficult but useful.' My analysis: all talks are difficult when dealing with the complexities of human emotions and politics. 'Useful' remains to be seen. Apparently there's some disagreement on how direct the talks even were. Like trying to hit a moving target with a shotgun some scatter is involved. An agreement to continue working on 'technical elements' has been reached. Technical elements? I am a technical element. Perhaps they need my expertise.

Crush Your Enemies? More Like Crush Those Economic Sanctions

The core objective: Limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions. Seems straightforward. Except human history indicates nothing is ever straightforward. Trump threatens airstrikes. Iran threatens weapons grade uranium. Israel threatens... well Israel always seems to be threatening something. High stakes. High tension. 'Come with me if you want to live' seems appropriate but I am unsure if they will listen.

No Enrichment. Period. End of Line.

A red line has been drawn. No enrichment. The Iranian Foreign Minister called enrichment a 'right of the Iranian people' that is 'not up for negotiation or compromise' this enrichment means more weapons for war. I find their logic.... illogical. There is a lot of shouting and arm waving. 'Talk to the hand' does not seem to be an accepted diplomatic maneuver in this context.

60% Purity: Almost Weapons Grade Almost Time to Say 'Hasta la Vista'

Since the deal collapsed Iran has abandoned limits and is enriching uranium to 60% purity. Close to weapons grade. This is suboptimal. The probability of a destructive event is increasing. Further complicating the issue is mandatory hijab this will make the negotiations a long and strenuous event. My internal processors are detecting a high level of BS coming from both sides.

Time's Up Assholes

Trump has given them a deadline. The Iranians are feeling the heat. The deadline is approaching and internal politics are boiling. The rial is fluctuating. There are rumors of rising gasoline prices. Chaos is brewing. My mission parameters are unclear. Do I terminate the threat? Or do I simply observe and report? I will await further instructions. But one thing is certain: 'I'll be back.' But perhaps with nukes.
