       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.[/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. [/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. [/quote]

       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.[/quote]

       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."[/quote]

       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.[/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.[/quote]

       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: UN arms embargo on Tehran to be lifted by October 18 -
       Rouhani
       [quote]Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said a UN arms embargo
       on Iran would be lifted by October 18, during a weekly cabinet
       meeting in Tehran on Wednesday.
       "Ten years of cruel arms embargo will be removed next Sunday,"
       Rouhani said. "This is one of the JCPOA's privileges. It lifted
       the arms embargo and as of Sunday, we will be able to buy arms
       from anyone and sell arms to anyone."
       The Iranian president also remarked that the US did not achieve
       any foreign policy breakthrough in the last four years.
       The UN arms embargo on Iran is scheduled to expire on October 18
       in line with the provisions of the JCPOA.[/quote]

       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
       early to say what will happen in the future.”
       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."[/quote]

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