Tuesday, June 30, saw yet another day of defeat for Washington in its illegitimate attempt to pressure the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to extend an arms embargo on Iran that is all set to expire this October.
The USA, sorry the ISA or the Isolated States of America, became all the more isolated at the World Body when Iran, Russia and China exposed its irrationality and even its traditional European allies (Germany, France, and Britain), despite their usual bids to try to find some faults with Iran, refused to buy American claims against the Islamic Republic.
Interestingly, at the meeting, Rosemary A. DiCarlo, the UN Under-Secretary General for Political Affairs, who is an American citizen, found fault with her own country’s illogical stance on Iran, especially the unilateral breaching of the JCPOA.
This made the gangster Mike Pompeo, who poses as Secretary of State, without knowing the ABC of diplomacy, look like a buffoon with his raving and ranting against Iran.
The outlaw bully called Donald Trump who currently rules – or more properly misrules – the US, appeared isolated both at home and abroad as the mass protests on the streets throughout the country for the past 35 days following the brutal killing in Minneapolis of Afro-American citizen, George Floyd, by white police officers, continued to denounce the dotard and his deranged policies.
Russian ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia told the Security Council that Washington’s so-called maximum pressure policy against Iran is totally unjustified and is akin to kneeling on someone’s neck – a reference to Floyd’s death that has triggered protests across the US against systemic racism.
China’s permanent envoy to the UN, Zhang Jun, said: "Having quit the JCPOA, the US is no longer a participant and has no right to trigger a snapback (of sanctions against Iran) at the UN”.
Henry Rome, senior Iran analyst for Eurasia Group, said the UN Security Council meeting was "another vivid illustration of Washington’s isolation as well as its failure over the past three years to persuade any other signatory of the deal to back its approach.”
Tehran for its part has explained its principled stance on international law including adherence to its commitment from which it has never deviated, but warned that it will not tolerate any lawless measures against national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
It has pointed out that no illegal embargo will ever force Iran to abandon its right to develop peaceful nuclear energy, as well strengthen its defensive power (including the right to manufacture missiles), and its assistance to the people and countries of the region in confronting US-Zionist terroristic threats.
