Love that cryptic demand from El Baradei - somehow, the US is again to blame for the reason that Iran won't agree to play nice.

"I think part of the negotiations should be providing Iran with security assurances," ElBaradei said after meeting with Swedish Prime Minister Goran Persson to discuss the IAEA's work.
"I hope that as the negotiations with the European Union proceed that the United States at a certain point will be more engaged. We look at the United States ... to do the heavy lifting in the area of security."
Sorry, I seem to recall that these negotiations were being done by the Europeans, who assured us that they could get Iran to agree to stop making enriched uranium and not make nuclear weapons - just by talking to them.
What in the world does the US have to do with it? Security guarantees?
As I recall, North Korea's demand for a security guarantee was that we would never attack North Korea, no matter what they did in the future - even invade South Korea. Would Iran like carte blanche as well?
Sorry, we await the brave and illustrious and never-failing and super-wise Europeans to bring the Iranians to a sensible conclusion where they stop making bomb material.
