My Comment: With Iran making it very clear that restricting their nuclear enrichment program is non-negotiable, I fail to see how new talks will change anything. What is having a bite .... and concerns Iran immensely (hence the desire for new talks) .... are sanctions against it's Central Bank. This will make doing international business increasingly difficult .... and more importantly for Iran .... increasingly expensive. For Iran's elite .... since sanctions were first imposed years ago .... for the first time they are now feeling their money is being targeted (which it is).
