The negotiations resume today. Unless the world is willing to confront Iran - probably militarily - it is going to laugh all the way to the bomb.
“Of course, Iran suffered at the beginning a little bit,” Hossein Mousavian, a former Iranian official, now a research scholar at Princeton, said in an interview. “But over all, it recovered very fast. The covert war has not been successful.”
