To be fair, most of these Iranian OSINTs are just fanboys with no links to the system.
They aren't "Aghazadeh".
Does China offer commercial 30cm sat images, btw? Are there Chinese companies that offer that to the public? And if yes, do they have censorship regulations when it comes to US/NATO military sites?

What you are talking about is if the treaty had been fully complied with during the period, but it was not because in 2018, the US withdrew from it, so... there's a political problem:you don't understand how snapback works
any country can invoke it and once invoked you need unanimity to prevent it happening
There is no political problem. None of the things you said are relevant to the JCPOA as it is a UNSC resolution with defined terms and conditions. And even if Iran wants to object to it, we have to go to the ICJ whose final verdict is non-binding without a UNSC resolution. And there is no way for Iran to pass the ICJ final verdict as a UNSC resolution.What you are talking about is if the treaty had been fully complied with during the period, but it was not because in 2018, the US withdrew from it, so... there's a political problem:
Iran claims that its violations of the agreement (enrichment above the limit, stockpiles above the permitted level) are a response to the initial US violation (reimposition of sanctions in 2018).Therefore, if Europe tried to trigger snapback, Iran would argue that it cannot be punished alone, since the US also breached the agreement first.
→ In international law, there is a concept called the "exception of default" (inadimplementi non est adimplendum):
If one side breaches the agreement first, the other side can suspend its obligations. In other words, Iran would try to defend itself by claiming:
"I'm not violating unilaterally—I only suspended my commitments in response to the US breaching the agreement."
This would be Iran's legal defense against a potential European snapback.
Relevant article:
Article 60 of the Vienna Convention – "Termination or Suspension of the Operation of a Treaty as a Consequence of Its Breach"
A State party may invoke a substantial breach of the treaty by another party as grounds for suspending its obligations.
A substantial breach includes: Failure to comply with a provision essential to the achievement of the purpose of the treaty.
In other words:
If the US reimposed sanctions(2018) in violation of the core JCPOA, Iran could claim that this constitutes a substantial breach.
Therefore, according to Article 60 of the Vienna Convention, Iran is legally authorized to suspend its obligations, such as:
- Uranium enrichment limits
- Fissile material stockpiles
- Inspector access
This does not constitute a unilateral violation, but rather a proportionate response to the US's previous non-compliance.This type of response is precisely what is called a legitimate countermeasure in international law.
# According to the Convention on State Responsibility for Internationally Wrongful Acts (2001, UN International Law Commission):
A State that violates an international obligation (such as respecting an agreement validated by a UN resolution) incurs international responsibility.
The injured State (Iran) may, under certain conditions:
- Suspend compliance with related obligations
- Take legal retaliatory measures ("countermeasures")

The level of treason was done by Zarif and Rouhani is beyond imagination ...JCPOA is not a treaty.
US is not a member of JCPOA but European members can invoke snapback and nothing can stop them. Not imaginary Russian/Chinese vetos and not random legal rules you cite without fully understanding them.

The level of treason was done by Zarif and Rouhani is beyond imagination ...
People don't remember but the reformist propaganda was so high that few even dare to question JCPOA back then ...
I was 20s years old back then and I could see the danger of snapback but reformist didn't listen (there were few places you could talk about it, and they simply banned me multiple times) ...
there was hot debate here, you can see there was people who criticize this snapback mechanism (look like the reformist moderator completely ruined the forum so no one can reference it )
