Iranian Daily Calls On Regime To Compromise In Nuclear Talks
In its December 18, 2012 editorial, the moderate-conservative daily Ebtekar criticized the all-or-nothing attitude of the Iranian regime, under Khamenei's leadership, to the nuclear negotiations with the 5+1 and the IAEA. The editorial claimed that this approach, which views the talks as a battle, leads to impasse or defeat, and urged the regime, in advance of the new round of talks planned for mid-January 2013, to adopt a new attitude of willingness to compromise and to make concessions.
It should be noted that such criticism is rarely voiced in the Iranian media, and even though the editorial was quoted on several websites, it has so far sparked no debate in the country.
The following are excerpts from the editorial:
