“We will be looking for specific steps by Iran that address core issues,
including but not limited to, the pace and scope of its enrichment program, the
transparency of its overall nuclear program and stockpiles of enriched
uranium,” said Wendy Sherman, Under Secretary of State and the lead U.S.
negotiator with Iran, during a testimony at the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee.
“The Iranians in return will doubtless be seeking some relief from comprehensive international sanctions that are now in place,” she added. ”Only concrete ... and verifiable steps can offer a path to sanctions relief.” (Reuters, 3 Octber)

“What we are thinking through is, what is it that would give us some
confidence today, would put some time on the clock, stop their nuclear program
from moving forward, while we get to that comprehensive agreement that would
allow the full sanctions relief they are looking for,” Sherman said.
“There may be some elements that we can do initially if they take
verifiable, concrete actions that will put time on the clock that are
reversible, or in fact don't go to any of the key sanctions that have brought
them to the table.”
Sherman also told the Senate to hold off imposing additional sanctions
against Iran before October 15-16 when six major powers will meet Iranian
officials in Geneva over Tehran's nuclear program.

the US position is still that it's up to Iran to make the first concessions.
" if they take verifiable, concrete actions " is how it must start if they want some relief from the sanctions.
More of the same crap from the us,offering nothing in return for everything,iran should respond by doing the same ie limiting the number of centrifuges to 100,000 and the number of fordow type facilities to 10 and to not leave the npt without giving 24 hours notice,but of course iran would want these offers to be reversible
"stop their nuclear program from moving forward" The real goal of the west and why a deal is very unlikely
This reminds me of those news shows that bringan undercover expert into an iranian rug shop. VERIFIABLE STEPS you rug salesmen
what you fail to understand is that Iran NEEDS to make the deal and the US wants a deal.
The Iranian government is going to have to offer more and perform first... otherwise there will be no deal and the sanctions will remain and probably become more severe

Then you must be willing to trade something of REAL value,not some some pathetic pittance of "we wont impose more sanctions but the existing ones stay in place",but the removal of actual sanctions
Congress will make sure the mullahs wont fool Obama.
Is Wendy Sherman a member of the Zionist lobby or a certain minority who are overrepresented in the US public life positions over other ethnic groups ?.
are you the sort of fool whose type is overrepresented in the comments on Iranian web sites?
