The deadlock that the US has created over Iran’s peaceful nuclear project by refusing to lift its illegal sanctions could be resolved diplomatically.
This is what US National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan, said on Tuesday, but repeated the same absurd accusation that Washington is alarmed by Iran’s actions.
The senior official of the world’s most dangerously nuclear-armed state did not elaborate what he actually means by his ambiguous words regarding the world’s only nation which has ruled religiously forbidden the manufacture of any weapons of mass destruction and whose peaceful atomic activities are under tight inspection of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
He was probably referring to the new Iranian government’s decision not to rush headlong to Vienna for undefined talks bearing no results, until full details of the several rounds of negotiations held in the Austrian capital with the EU 3 (France, Germany and Britain) are studied, including the practical removal of the obstacles imposed by the US following its violation of the 2015 Geneva Accord.
It is clear now where the crux of the whole problem is, and which side has actually trampled upon the clauses of the Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action (JCPOA)?
The Islamic Republic of Iran has definitely not breached any of the clauses of the said agreement and whatever it has done since the unilateral US violation in 2018 followed by a host of illegal sanctions, is in complete accordance with the JCPOA’s wordings on Iran’s right in case of breach by the other sides and their unfulfilled commitments.
It is crystal clear the current US regime of Joe Biden is pursuing a hostile policy against Iran by adhering to the economic terrorism of the roguish regime of Donald Trump.
If Washington is sincere, it should summon up the courage to not just remove all illegal sanctions but compensating Iran for the billions of dollars of loss over the past three years, before thinking about any talks in Vienna.
As a matter of fact, the best solution to the whole problem is the agreement of all parties to do away with the JCPOA itself, and for the Americans and the Europeans to end their unwarranted impediments in the way of Iran, so that the Islamic Republic as the only nation that has religiously banned the nuclear bomb, could continue its peaceful path of progress for the benefit of its people and the people of the region.
Of course, the free world wants a nuclear-free world where the doomsday arsenal of all dangerously-armed powers, have no place.
