U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has condemned the move by Brazil and Turkey to reach a nuclear-fuel exchange deal with Iran, calling the initiative "dangerous" for global security.

Speaking May 27 at a forum in Washington, Clinton said the Obama administration sees the deal as helping Iran avoid international unity against the Iranian nuclear program.

UN rift widens over Brazil-Turkey deal with Iran

By Aldo Gamboa (AFP) –

BRASILIA — A bitter rift between the world's top powers led by the United States and emerging nations Brazil and Turkey widened Thursday as differences over how to tackle Iran's suspect nuclear program erupted into sharp exchanges.

Turkey accused critics of a deal brokered with Iran last week for a nuclear fuel swap of being "envious" of the "diplomatic success" it represented -- in an implicit swipe at the United States.

The American Century Is So Over

Here is the Obama pattern: Choose a foreign leader to pressure. Threaten him with dire consequences if he does not bend to Washington’s will. When he refuses to submit and instead responds vigorously, back off quickly and overcompensate for failure by switching into a placatory mode.

Brazil and Iran can look after themselves but Turkey overestimates herself. If Turkey continues to assume that she is a superpower and able to play ball alongside Iran & Brazil against the opposition, it may well end up being the geopolitical reshuffling that Cyprus has been waiting for…

So Erdogan, please keep it up! :wink:
