Regarding new incentives offered to the Iranian regime, the Washington Times wrote in an article that the new incentives are ineffective in prompting Iranian regime to stop its nuclear program.

The article added: In reality, the parliament consists of overwhelmingly of lawmakers who are not independent agents. They have been vetted by the regime before running for office, and they would not be in office if they were thought to be disloyal to hardliners like President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who have no intention of stopping uranium enrichment. In addition, the regime has an established infrastructure of secret police and repression to ensure that elected officials don’t stray from the party line.

Such an incentive package is unlikely to magically transform Iran by causing its people to rise up and demand that their Islamist masters stop their efforts to develop atomic weapons.
