Of course if it is good news, it won't be because we will be having it diluted out of us as a result of this totally stupid offer for MAK. On balance though I think the leadership in Iran has nothing to lose by just stealing the project completely - they are going to be at war soon so what is the point of trying to please us? There are 25 countries participating in a practice mine-sweeping operation in the Strait of Hormuz. A third U.S. aircraft carrier is on its way to the Persian Gulf. Iran is boasting it is the only country that can guarantee security in the Gulf and it is talking about sending ships to patrol off the U.S. coast. They are long overdue a good smacking, and it is coming soon. All IMO. DYOR.
P.S. There is nothing worse than a leadership that revels in its selective ignorance of the outside world and that spends all its time confirming the correctness of each other's dogma. They are in for a shock soon, IMO.
