US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Israeli PM Bennett
The big picture: Sullivan sketched out three possible near-term scenarios on Iran’s nuclear program in the meetings, two officials say:
1) An agreement within the next several weeks to return to full compliance with the 2015 deal, which he was skeptical would be achieved.
2) A “freeze for freeze” interim agreement to stop Iran from further accelerating its program.
3) No deal and new sanctions and pressure on Iran.
The backstory: As the nuclear talks resumed in Vienna, anxiety was growing in the Prime Minister’s Office over the idea that the Biden administration would seek a partial agreement that would provide Iran with sanctions relief without any nuclear rollback.

Jake Sullivan is a loser.
A fortnight ago, it was a given that if the talks did not work, then they were over for good. It was the last chance.
Now, they are on again.
If they do not work this time after two weeks or a month of trying they will start them again in February or March. That will also be put out as the last chance.
On another note Iran may want to reconsider their nuclear program. Is it any better than its warship building program. Apparently, the American ship building program could be worse. It could take longer like the Iranian program. The Iranians take 6 years to build a frigate with about a 3rd of those sinking during the maiden voyage or in dry dock. With that type of record with warships, why the fuck would they want to futz around with nukes?
An organically grown economy would have done a much better job of warship design than command and control one. I just asserted that, but think about it. They just had a ship capsize in dry dock. It is a little bit hard than the work of a mate (thousands of those) calculating trim, but only just. With the Iranian educational system and resource system such as it is, could we expect anything else?
