I think these will be very difficult discussion and I do not think we will see any major decisions made today.

In all likelihood, energy security will be among the main issues to be discussed.

Largely a bluff. A fairy tale.

If Russia and China back Iran on the compromise option [the joint venture], then the issue will not be pushed on to the UN Security Council without consent from Moscow and Beijing.

Unfortunately, the escalation of the conflict will continue.

A similar scenario would be an optimal way out of the Iranian deadlock, especially if the United States provides Tehran with guarantees that it would not attack Iran.
