Iran Demands Concessions From U.S. in Return for Cooperation
(NTY) http://makeashorterlink.com/?L3B925166

TEHRAN, Oct. 29 — Iran said Wednesday that it would not share intelligence with the United States on operatives of Al Qaeda or hand over Qaeda suspects in Iranian detention and would resume dialogue only after the United States undertakes what it termed measures to build confidence.

It was not clear whether the United States would first have to restore diplomatic relations broken after the storming of the American Embassy in Tehran in the fall of 1979.

"You cannot threaten from one side and freeze assets from the other side; level accusations from one side and then request dialogue from the other side; we need to see America's practical steps," the government spokesman, Abdullah Ramezanzadeh, told reporters.

"They have leveled too many false accusations against us and they should stop that," he said. "They should also unfreeze our assets and lift the sanctions."

1. Seriously, the Iranians have something Bush* Co wants.
The cleric who was killed in the bombing incident in Najaf had been in exile in Iran for about 10 years. There's the issue of the oil and natural gas reserves in the Caspian Sea. Not to mention the undeveloped oil field (Aljazeen or something like that) in Iran which the Japanese had signed a deal to develop but the Iranians renegged. The Iranians penned a deal with the Russians for the nuke facility.
They have just been a little too obvious about messing with Bush* Co. "Our nukes our for peaceful purposes" they responded in complete mocking of Bush* Co. There is a whole lot more to this story then is being told.
