My Comment: Iran is not going to budge. The Government of Iran has vested too much in the success of its nuclear program and to obtain nuclear weapons. Any climb down will be a loss of face to its supporters and enemies. Like Saddam Hussein, Iran feels that it must present a certain face to its enemies.
