Michael Rubin on US Incentives to Iran

Alec Russell in Washington, Telegraph:
"This is the fourth last chance we've given them [the Iranians]," said Michael Rubin, of the neo-conservative think-tank, the American Enterprise Institute, and a former Iran adviser at the Pentagon. "Every time Jack Straw gets up and says: 'Under no circumstances will there be military action', the Iranians say, 'Under no circumstances do we need to compromise'.

"Iran is not sincere. It is running out the clock; it is injury time and it is up by one goal."
