0600 GMT: Five days before the supposed start of the nuclear talks between Iran and the 5+1 Powers (US, UK, France, Russia, China, and Germany), and the confusion over where and if they begin continues.
From muddle, division within the regime, or an elaborate Good Cop/Bad Cop approach, Tehran continues to put out conflicting signals. The Islamic Republic has pulled back from Istanbul as the site of the discussions, proposing Iraq and China as alternatives --- even Kazazhstan stepped forward on Saturday to offer itself as a host --- but Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi put out soothing words yesterday about talks building trust: "“Iran wishes for peace, stability and security in the region and the world. The Iranian culture is one of peace, friendship and expansion of ties with other countries."
