Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Bharatah]

you don't understand how snapback works

any country can invoke it and once invoked you need unanimity to prevent it happening

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")

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.

The EU legally can and will trigger the snapback mechanism. And it will happen soon, probably in late July or early August. And when that happens, China will use that as an excuse not to sell Iran J-10Cs.

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 )

These reformists should never deal about security of their country [Khatami, Rohani, Zarif, Pezeshkian]

They might not realize the threat until the enemy forces them to wake up, and unfortunately our people have to pay

Iran can invoke Chapter VII under article 15 since it came under attack where its civilian nuclear program were attacked and its nuclear scientists, military commanders, and over 1000 Iranians were killed.

“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.”

If Iran accepts inspections back to its nuclear installations, it can deny the entry of any inspector from any hostile state.

Frankly, this is a repeat of what the West did to Iraq in the 1990s. All of these inspections mean 1 thing: Removing all of Iranian nuclear and missile capabilities.

What a shit hole. The US is being exposed as the uncivilized shit-hole it is.
You have plain-clothes ICE fascists and now this. The mask is off.

 

[Hack-Hook]

I don't really care if he denies it, unless he says it publicly it's irrelevant and I am talking about Pezeshkian. he is important enough to judge his words alone without having to deflect to someone else

OK you wand to blame him for tweeting what someone else stated

 

[Hack-Hook]

why must we say it to everyone else except your reformists who are the public face of Iran and say these things publicly? it doesn't make any sense.

we don't have any reservations about criticising IRGC or Khamenei. you are the only one with a reservation about criticising reformists and deflect from any criticism of them to insist people criticise someone else instead.

Why . Because it was Mr. Rezaee and also supereme leader aide were the ones who said supereme leader stopped true promise 3 and also he supported negotiation . And I posted both video here
