It is a crucial weekend that opens in Geneva.
The nuclear talks are a major issue for Iran's "new look" of president Rohani, who must pass from a change in tone into a change in substance.
On October 11, after the official inauguration of president Rohani, I expressed my hopes on this blog (http://blogs.mediapart.fr/blog/nathalie-goulet/111013/iran-la-france-doit-prendre-au-serieux-les-offres-douverture-de-rohani)
To this day they have not been disappointed; the end of the anti-Zionist day, the recognition of the Holocaust and other signs of opening are strong signs of a change tone.
The Geneva talks are engaged in their third day and the good fairies of the world of diplomacy join the negotiating table. John Kerry arrived yesterday putting a premature end to his visit in Israel, the Russian and Chinese ministers are expected this morning, the atmosphere is febrile, the media reactive, the Israeli prime minister on the alert, ready to fight it out.
Everyone is capable of measuring the stakes of a signature that would mean the return of Iran on the international stage and in the world of business.
Everyone also recognizes the importance of this country for the security of the region: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Bahrain, wherever PAX AMERICANA has failed....
Everyone also measures Israel’s fear, legitimate or not, and the nature of the threats by its prime minister, which press the emergence of a regional power.
Everyone measures all these parameters.
Nobody at this time is able to make a prognostic, and only a pretty clever one can say this morning what would be the outcome of this major diplomatic suspense for the world security and the Region.
The return of Iran, it is the advent of a giant in the world of business and strategic sourcing of a bled dry Europe; it is a colossal market, an educated and qualified youth, it is finally a possible comparison with countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, a country rich in history, culture and a vibrant youth in an apnea of opening.
Iran is all that and clerics of course, and Pasdarans too, but whose voice will be reduced to the measure of openness, this is also at stake in Geneva...
A diplomatic suspense stronger than HOMELAND
