World Rebukes U.S. Over Iran

World Rebukes U.S. Over Iran
--- Quote ---
> With Trump’s re-election prospects up in the air, a heated
U.N. meeting on Iran shows world powers' fading fear of
confronting the United States.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday sought to reassert
America’s waning influence on the world stage, challenging the
U.N. Security Council to extend a U.N. arms embargo that is due
to expire in October. Instead, America’s top diplomat received a
scolding from friends and foes alike in the 15-nation council,
which roundly criticized Washington for withdrawing from the
Iran nuclear deal two years ago without a clear plan to limit
Tehran’s nuclear activities.
>
> On a day when the European Union pointedly excluded the United
States from a “safe list” of countries permitted to travel to
the 27-member bloc, the council’s chilly reception of Pompeo
added to a portrait of an increasingly isolated United States
and underscored how little deference other countries pay the
Trump administration as it faces a grim reelection contest. The
U.N. debate came amid a sharpening blowback in Washington to
revelations that the Trump administration failed to act on
months of intelligence warnings that Russia offered Taliban
fighters bounties to kill U.S. and coalition troops in
Afghanistan.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> The pointedly critical tone of the debate saw Germany accusing
Washington of violating international law by withdrawing from
the nuclear pact, while Berlin aligned itself with China’s claim
that the United States has no right to reimpose U.N. sanctions
on Iran. Russia’s U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, compared
U.S. sanctions on Iran to the killing of George Floyd, saying
they were akin to “putting a knee to one’s neck.”
>
> The dispute centered on the fate of the nearly moribund 2015
Iran nuclear deal, which capped Iran’s ability to develop a
nuclear weapon but which the United States abandoned in May
2018. European parties to the deal, like Iran, want to keep it
alive; the Trump administration wants to kill it before the
election, lest any future Democratic administration bring it
back to life.

Pompeo angry with Russia & EU over UN rebuke (Full show)
--- Quote ---
> US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke to the UN on Thursday,
urging the world to step up sanctions against Iran. Pompeo cited
the very treaty that the Trump administration itself had already
shredded. The UN Security Council reminded him that the US has
no right to invoke a treaty it had itself reneged on. Pompeo
lashed out at the EU in turn, accusing it of "siding with the
Ayatollahs." Rick Sanchez reports. Then former US diplomat Jim
Jatras and former UK MP George Galloway share their insights.

Nothing like squandering the prestige of "the most powerful
nation the world has ever known" to satisfy some ass backwards
Jewish colonial enterprise in Palestine known as Israel and it's
tribal agenda of enslaving everything that is not Jewish. Nicely
done morons! ;D
Zionist stooge Pompeo spews insane nonsense against Iran
--- Quote ---
> "Maybe Pompeo is living in a quantum world where Schrodinger's
cat can be alive and dead at the same time, the US can be in and
out of the deal at the same time and sanctions can be unilateral
and multilateral at the same time. But nobody else is in that
quantum world. And he's gonna have to come back to Earth at some
point."

Iran’s delicate balancing act in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
--- Quote ---
> Iran shares borders with Armenia and Azerbaijan, and is home
to communities with origins in both countries.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> Tehran, Iran – With Armenia and Azerbaijan locked in a fresh
conflict over the contested region of Nagorno-Karabakh,
neighbouring Iran finds itself in a delicate balancing act, with
political, historical and ethnic considerations.
>
> Iran’s official stance, after having tried to resolve the
long-running conflict in previous decades through diplomatic
means, remains one of mediation, calling for an immediate
ceasefire and dialogue.
>
> Iran also recognises several United Nations resolutions that
stipulate Nagorno-Karabakh, which is controlled by ethnic
Armenians backed by Armenia, is part of Azerbaijan and that
occupied Azeri lands must be returned.
>
> The region broke away from Azerbaijan in a war during the late
1980s and early 1990s but is not recognised by any country as an
independent country, including Armenia.
>
> Iran, which shares borders with both Armenia and Azerbaijan,
last week reassured Azerbaijan that it recognises its
territorial integrity and that it holds an important place in
Iranian foreign policy.

Trump administration pushes the US war on Iran into high gear
--- Quote ---
> The Trump administration is pushing the US war on Iran into
high gear with these new ramped-up sanctions that are more
extreme than just about any sanctions anyone has ever applied
anywhere.
>
> These sanctions are now stopping basic medical equipment from
getting into Iran such as the Mepilex dressings from Sweden that
are used to treat wounds, serious wounds. Apparently, Trump and
his Zionist backers want Iranians to be wounded and not to heal.
They want to inflict horrific pain on ordinary Iranian people.

Iran: Tehran will not renegotiate nuclear deal with Biden - FM
spokesperson
--- Quote ---
> Tehran will not renegotiate the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal
with the next US president, an Iranian Foreign Ministry
spokesperson told a press conference on Monday.
>
> “The Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly stated that the
JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] is a thing of the
past and that it can't be reopened by anyone," said Saeed
Khatibzadeh, adding that Iran "does not change its policy with
the coming and going of anyone."
>
> "There are three important changes that must happen, otherwise
there won't be any change. A change in thinking and mentality of
the US decision-makers, a change in speech and the way the US
talks to the world and the great nation of Iran, and then taking
the right steps back from the wrong path and compensating for
the past. We are monitoring closely. It is too early to say what
will happen in the future,” said Khatibzadeh.
>
> US President-elect Joe Biden was Vice-President when the
nuclear deal was struck. He recently said the US could rejoin
the accord if Iran returns to complying with it.
>
> *SOUNDBITES*
>
> SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson
(Farsi): “There are three important changes that must happen,
otherwise there won’t be any change. A change in thinking and
mentality of the US decision makers, a change in speech and the
way the US talks to the world and the great nation of Iran, and
then taking the right steps back from the wrong path and
compensating for the past. We are monitoring closely. It is too

>
> SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson
(Farsi): “The Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly stated
that the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] is a thing
of the past and that it can’t be reopened by anyone. The US has
violated UNSCR [UN Security Council Resolution] 2231, has
withdrawn from the JCPOA, has inflicted material damage on the
Iranian people, and this makes the US legally responsible for
withdrawing from JPCOA and violating UNSCR 2231, which is
natural for Iran to be a plaintiff. And the US should be held
accountable for its illegal, anti-international, and
anti-Iranian behaviour.”
>
> SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson
(Farsi): "The US government is due to take office in January.
After coming to power, we make our decisions based on the new
circumstances and environment, within the framework of what
already exists, and we must first see where the US government's
actions are heading. These are actions that matter, not words,
messages, I do not know, speculation, media analysis or
institution analysis.”
>
> SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson
(Farsi): "We recognise the established government, we do not
recognise any team. An established government must be formed in
the US, and then they are the ones who must take action and we
will be the observer.”
>
> SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson
(Farsi): "The US has hit the international community's trust the
hardest. It will be very, very difficult for the international
community to accept that the US will live up to its commitments.
That is why we pay so much attention to actions, not words."
>
> SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson
(Farsi): "Iran does not change its policy with the coming and
going of anyone. Going under the illusion of Trump's security,
it may make some people in one or two of our neighbouring
capitals reason that they can’t always pay for and buy security.
To lobby, and buy security. To lobby, and buy weapons. To lobby,
and kill the Yemeni people. This is a clear message from Iran to
them. What we said seven years ago in this government and in
previous years is still valid. The sooner they reach the
rationale that we should look for a local mechanism in this
region, the better for themselves and the region."

Wait, so are you saying that Trump did something good (albeit
unintentionally)?

"Wait, so are you saying that Trump did something good (albeit

False Leftists are so obsessed with preserving the JCPOA because
they favor the Iranian "left" (False Leftist "peacemakers") over
the Iranian "right" (True Leftists such as Ahmedinejad). The
only ostensible right-wing position of Ahmedinejad is his view
on homosexuality.
