WASHINGTON http://www.cheapmax90freeshipping.com/ , Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday appealed to senators to delaying voting for tougher sanctions on Iran, as part of his administration's continuing efforts to buy negotiators more time and space to seal a deal on Iran's controversial nuclear program.
The president, joined by his national security team including Secretary of State John Kerry and National Security Advisor Susan Rice, had a two-hour closed-door meeting at the White House with the Senate leadership and heads and ranking members of the committees on banking, foreign relations, armed services and intelligence.
"The president made it clear that achieving a peaceful resolution that prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon is profoundly in America's national security interest cheap nike air max 90 ," White House spokesman Jay Carney said at a regular press briefing. "He indicated that new sanctions should not be enacted during the current negotiations, but that they would be most effective as a robust response should Iran not accept the P5+1 proposal or should Iran fail to follow through on its commitments."
Both Vice President Joseph Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry went to Capitol Hill last week to lobby for delayed sanctions.
"The president is determined to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and firmly believes that it would be preferable to do so peacefully," Carney said. "Therefore, he has a responsibility to pursue the ongoing diplomatic negotiations before turning to other alternatives, including military options."
Iran is set to resume negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland cheap air max 90 red , Wednesday with Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States plus Germany, known as the P5+1 cheap air max 90 pink , after intensive talks there on Nov. 7-9 failed to produce a deal.
Iran on Sunday dropped a long-standing demand in past negotiations, with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif telling the semi-official ISNA news agency that "Iran's (uranium) enrichment right does not need recognition, because it is an inseparable right based on the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty)."
Israel and some U.S. lawmakers have inveighed against the idea of eased sanctions for six months in exchange for Iran's limiting of its nuclear activities, as floated by the P5+1 as the first step to a comprehensive deal, saying the major countries are giving too much for too little.
Some senators are mulling tougher sanctions against Iran to rev up the pressure, as the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in late July to impose punitive new sanctions on the Islamic republic with a view to ending all of its oil exports by 2015.
"The initial six-month step of the P5+1 proposal would halt progress on the Iranian nuclear program and roll it back in key respects cheap air max 90 white , stopping the advance of the program for the first time in nearly a decade and introducing unprecedented transparency into Iran's nuclear activities while we negotiate a long-term comprehensive solution," Carney said.
Obama stressed to the senators that without the initial step, Iran will continue to advance its nuclear program by increasing its enrichment capacity, growing its stockpile of enriched uranium, installing advanced centrifuges and making progress on the plutonium track at the Arak reactor, according to Carney.
"With this current P5+1 proposal cheap air max 90 black , we have the opportunity to halt the progress of the Iranian program, roll it back in key respects, while testing whether a comprehensive resolution can be achieved," Carney said.
Obama also told the senators the suggested sanctions relief will be "limited, temporary and reversible," dismissing reports about 40 billion to 50 billion U.S. dollars in reduced sanctions for Iran as "inaccurate."
Senators calling for new sanctions against Iran will not have a chance to offer amendments before Thanksgiving because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is using a procedural maneuver to block them cheap air max 90 free shipping , said Bob Corker, a ranking Republican on the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee.
"I think all of us are concerned," Corker told reporters after meeting with Obama. "We know who we're dealing with. I think the concern is whatever you do on an interim basis becomes the 'new norm' and in fact that is ...the deal."
Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator, was unwavering Tuesday in his criticism of eased sanctions on Iran, calling it a "bad deal."
"A bad deal will lead to war and a bad deal is allowing the Iranians the capability to produce a nuclear weapon cheap air max 90 for sale ," he said on Fox News, echoing a sentiment expressed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki on Tuesday refused to comment on Iran's concession of its enrichment right, but said, "We don't believe Iran or any country has the right to enrich."
"I think the more significant signs, in our view, is the willingness of the Iranians to sit down at the table cheap air max 90 shoes , talk through a possible agreement, as we did 10 days ago and as we will do in the coming days," she added.
This will soon be applied to Diablo 3 also after the game is launched. Hear it in the words of someone who’s really an engaged game addict. They would tell people that many do not envy hackers but instead these people despise them and also consider these folks weaklings because of installing and making use of the hacks. Yet it is just the same case with the other side of the coin, some hackers don’t use hacks for the sake of the probability of simply being known as lord of video gaming due to the intense power the hack redirects to your character. Several hackers just download this due to the simple fact that they prefer kicking butts as well as pissing folks off. Diablo 3 is a multiplayer game containing player vs. gamer features. That enough is a helping fact for those hackers requirements.
