The Obama administration began softening sanctions on Iran after the election of Iran’s new president in June, months before the current round of nuclear talks in Geneva or the historic phone call between the two leaders in September.
While those negotiations now appear on the verge of a breakthrough the key condition for Iran—relief from crippling sanctions—began quietly and modestly five months ago.
A review of Treasury Department notices reveals that the U.S. government has all but stopped the financial blacklisting of entities and people that help Iran evade international sanctions since the election of its president, Hassan Rouhani, in June.

I hope Israel never has to hear these words...
"I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me,"
"We've got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and we are going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this."
Okay, so I read the whole article. The question never answered or even dealt with: what has the US gotten out of the negotiation tactic of lifting up on sanctions? Have the Iranians complied with any demands or have they just smiled sweetly & batted their eyelashes at us?
This seems to be yet another example of the Administration doing something stupid for the sake of being seen to be doing something at all & then the Administration's fellators in the press talking about how brilliant it all is.
While Panetta was saying one thing on the side Obama was quietly doing another.
Our foes have a better understanding about what Obama is doing than our friends.
In the meantime: Kerry Threatens Israel with 'Third Intifada'
Buh bye Israel.
The President can be much more flexible after the election. His election, your election, it doesn't really matter, as long as you aren't an American citizen, then he's just looking for any chance to be flexible to your needs.
That's our guy.
Do you guys bitch about the Kenyan all fucking day?
Come on, perhaps a hobby or a book or some other form of actual "entertainment" if that is possible?
Maybe volunteer because none of you seem to have an actual job. May I suggest:
Meals For Wheels
The American Legion
The Red Cross
Wounded Warrior
The ASPCA
The Heritage Action Fund
The Sons of Italy
Microfinancing Company
A wine, quilt, computer club.
Perhaps take a class at the 9th tier "college" in your grossie areas?
It's almost like he's on the other side.
Oh, wait....
Give an inch, they will take a mega-parsec.
[Valerie] Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran, to multiple-racial parents James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman.
I had no clue.
In other administration that have been reelected, Reagan, Clinton, Bush 43, I recall there was a near complete turn over.
Not so on Obama's.
Jarrett and Holder aren't going anywhere.
Not detente.
Sell out.
Israel knows the score. Obama is a tool if not a committed adherent of radical Islam. He has consistently aided the Muslim Brotherhood in every attempt they had made to destabilize and take over countries in the Middle East.
Why is this secret collusion with Iran a surprise?
It is not a surprise to Israel.
They have the bomb. They will use it. If they get pushed to wall don't think they will be worried about world opinion.
Never again.
I'm with Troop.
I think Obama & Co. have forgotten who Israel is and what they have done.
They sure seem to have forgotten the Holocaust.
Or more likely it wasn't even covered in the ritzy Punahou or Jarrett's Mount Herman. (Jarrett supposedly has a Jewish great grandfather.)
Can a president undo sanctions with a snap of his fingers?
This one can.
Wow. Isn't he cool.
Naive Republicans think that Obama's greatest failure will be his health care program. We should be so lucky.
