You can't have Hillary Clinton say one thing, and then Turkey and Brazil, say another thing. Is the UN behind the sanctions or not? And what in the world is China up to; saying yes to both sides of the equation. This is all a bit silly.
Let's be practical. The day the fuel is about to be delivered to Turkey, Qom will say no. The likes of Jannati will not allow it, and they control the regime. The days when their Foreign Ministry (the old Reform Camp) had power, are gone. If anything the die-hards will kick out Ahmadinejad.
Now for those sanctions. If the US really wanted to do anything, they would close down banks that operated in Iran and US. They would stop those Chinese companies dealing in US and Iran. That will not happen.
So all of this is just a superb way to waste time. It makes good "news", and the media makes money printing it. Meanwhile the US stays in the area wasting money on military.
Nothing has changed. But the non-violent movement moves forward.
"Turkey said on Tuesday that Iran has shown political will to solve a dispute with the West over its nuclear program and said it was not time to discuss further U.N. sanctions."
