President Khasanjani then leaves the podium and takes his seat.
Conversation erupts on all sides among the various members of the General Assembly. It would appear that Khasanjani’s message has made a very clear point: either you give us what we want, or somehow, someone will pay the consequences. Some members would do anything to avoid conflict. Others are tired of being pushed around by leaders like Khasanjani.
Mary O’Rourke gets up from her seat. She turns and thanks the president of Iran for his presentation. Then she stands before the great assembly. “You are the representatives of our world body. We need to hear from you regarding Iran’s request to eliminate the current sanctions. We will reconvene in three hours. I hope that will give you sufficient time to make your decisions.”
Members jump to their feet and leave quickly, off to contact their governments as to how they should vote on this unexpected state of affairs.
Mary watches them clear the hall. I knew I sensed trouble, but dear heavens, not this. I wonder what the final outcome will be.
