Sanctions reimposed on Iran 10 years after landmark nuclear deal

[jamal18]

Iran is weak country.

There are many ethinicities in Iran.

Regime change is a piece of cake.

Strangely, I agree with you. The current government is 'pro-Western' and was voted in by a majority of the population. There are enough people in Iran who
want regime change.

 

[Al-Zakir]

Great news.

Iran is already surrounded.

US-EU-Turkey-Saudi Arabia-Pakistan-Azerbaijan-Afghanistan alliance need to closely work for immediate regime change in Iran.

That would be upto Iranian people. Their country their choice.

Stay the F off from internal matter of another country.

10 years is a long time.
World has changed. Let's see what happens.

Civilised global south will pay no attention to these sanctions...a tool for white imperialists to exercise economic terrorism on the only country willing to fight the Jewish terror state live streaming the holocaust of native semitic Palestinians.

i find Iran need not to trade with US/West
the USA is finished, and its more a funny news for rest of the world that they have any "sanctions" strength against any country....

We need regime change in the US.

Iran sanctions reimposed 10 years after landmark nuclear deal

Iran says the sanctions are "unjust" and "illegal" and has urged countries not to implement them.

Sweeping UN economic and military sanctions have been reimposed on Iran - 10 years after they were lifted in a landmark international deal over its nuclear programme.

The new measures took effect as the three European partners to the deal - the UK, France and Germany - activated the so-called "snapback" mechanism, accusing Iran of "continued nuclear escalation" and lack of co-operation.

Iran suspended inspections of its nuclear facilities - a legal obligation under the terms of the 2015 deal - after Israel and the US bombed several of its nuclear sites and military bases in June.

Its President Masoud Pezeshkian insisted last week that the country had no intention of developing nuclear weapons.

The reintroduction of sanctions - which Pezeshkian described as "unfair, unjust, and illegal" - is the latest blow to a deal that was heralded as a turning point in Western relations with the long-ostracised Islamist nation when it was first struck.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) places limits on Iran's nuclear installations, its stockpiles of enriched uranium, and the amount of research and development it can undertake.

It aims to allow Iran to develop its nuclear power infrastructure without straying into making nuclear weaponry.

Iran stepped up its banned nuclear activity after Donald Trump pulled the US out of the agreement during his first term as president in 2018.

He has persistently criticised the deal, negotiated under his predecessor Barack Obama, as flawed, vowing to negotiate better terms.

The US and Israeli bombing of nuclear facilities in June was intended to reverse some of Iran's nuclear progress, as well as punish it for arming regional proxies that have repeatedly attacked Israel.

While Trump said these had caused "monumental damage", others cast doubt on the extent to which they had hindered Iran's nuclear programme.

Iran said the strikes "fundamentally changed the situation" and rendered international support for the nuclear deal "obsolete".

European allies that remain party to the deal still hope negotiations will yield a cooling of tensions.

"We urge Iran to refrain from any escalatory action," they said in a joint statement, adding: "The reimposition of UN sanctions is not the end of diplomacy."

Talks between the three countries and Iran on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly earlier this week failed to produce a deal which would have delayed the sanctions being reimposed.

The foreign ministers of the so-called E3 said they had "no choice" but to trigger the snapback procedure, as Iran had "repeatedly breached" its commitments.

They cited Iran's failure to "take the necessary actions to address our concerns, nor to meet our asks on extension, despite extensive dialogue".

Specifically, they mentioned Tehran's refusal to co-operate with the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

"Iran has not authorised IAEA inspectors to regain access to Iran's nuclear sites, nor has it produced and transmitted to the IAEA a report accounting for its stockpile of high-enriched uranium," the statement read.

The suspension of IAEA inspections began following the US/Israeli bombings, but the agency confirmed on Friday that they had resumed.

In a statement on Sunday, Iran said it did not recognise the "illegal" and "unjustifiable" sanctions.

Its foreign ministry warned that "any action aimed at undermining the rights and interests of its people will face a firm and appropriate response".

Pezeshkian has softened earlier threats of Iran quitting the Non-Proliferation Treaty altogether - but has warned that a return of sanctions would put negotiations in jeopardy.

He told reporters on Friday that Tehran would need reassurances that its nuclear facilities would not be attacked by Israel in order to normalise its nuclear enrichment programme.

He also rejected a US demand to hand over all of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium in return for a three-month exemption from sanctions, saying: "Why would we put ourselves in such a trap and have a noose around our neck each month?"

Western powers and the IAEA say they are not convinced by Iran's insistence that its nuclear programme has purely peaceful purposes.

Israel welcomed the reinstatement of sanctions as a "major development in response to Iran's ongoing violations", saying the international community should use "every tool" to prevent Iran becoming a nuclear power.

we find the terms like NPT is outdated now. its 'nil' applicable on Cold War partners, the Tehran-Moscow-New Delhi combined.

the anti NATO groups like Iran and others are found "self sufficient" within.
they do not need to trade with NATO

They need to declare India an enemy of the west and a rogue state.

 

[ST1976]

They need to declare India an enemy of the west and a rogue state.

once discussed, the country who didn't signed NPT, India, was more powerful than those who signed NPT, including P5s.
a day will come soon when it an be proved

and those like Moscow-Beijing who signed NPT, while being with P5s, were also have to accept all the 'wrong' of P5s against non-NATO countries..... here, how Moscow or Beijing may justify signing NPT?

the word 'rogue' is all about proving whether the whole NATO could 'contain' India, or not.
the India, whose progress was without signing NPT since its first nuclear test "Smiling Buddha" by 1974

Israel supported Iran during Iran-Iraq war.

Israel hated Iraq more than Iran and saw it in its interest to aid Iran. That aid was only about $100 million. Nothing compared to the 100s of Billions that Iraq received from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait!

 

[Lulldapull]

After Israel and US attack on Iran, its impossible to change present govt in Iran. Public sentiment are too high and massive crackdown underway in Iran to clean the traitors and GCC step back after Israel attack on Qatar.
Plus, regional powers are fully backing present Iran govt, China, Russia, India, and Bagram base is gone. A major listening post.
Bagram evac was the biggest and final blunder of US foreign policy.

Bilkul....!

Iran falls, we are finished bhai.

Then AL-Yahuday will have actually a border with us.

Some here hate my comments, but we need to understand that Israel is no friend of ours.

Iran has to ride out the orange man in oval office. sanctions can be lifted as well.

Many nations have rode out the US, China, North Korea, Russia are some of the example.

It's crazy that the Super Power on the decline does not even dare to dream of attacking North Korea anymore.

Orange man has a method to his madness.he deals with countries like a businessman. They hate his guts. He's corrupt as hell.

Care to name any country leader that isn't corrupt to some degree?

That's beside the point. Trump is a moghul. Other than raw power over his countrymen,what else could he want that he doesn't have already?

Even if there's no incorruptible leader, Trump of all people has no reason to be corrupt.

Please don't presume to speak for Pakistan.
