The main issue is the lifting of sanctions, not the return of the United States to JCPOA

Obviously, what matters to Iran is lifting of sanctions, not just the return of the United States to the JCPOA. in other words; The United States should not consider its return to the violated agreement as a concession to Iran, because the principle of their return to the JCPOA has basically no issue for Iran.

 NOURNEWS - In the media and political space of the world, an issue called JCPOA is still at the forefront of news and analysis. In this context, the European Union's foreign policy chief, Joseph Borrell, has emphasized his support for the US return to JCPOA and called for the implementation of JCPOA by its members, especially Iran.

These positions come at a time when the Islamic Republic of Iran has also stressed the need to lift all sanctions and conditional return to JCPOA obligations.

These two views are pursued by the parties to the JCPOA, while in the multi-year process of the JCPOA, the West has not fulfilled any of its JCPOA commitments and has always used the principle of "negotiation for negotiation" with the promise of a common ground to justify its non-commitment.

In practice, the West, on the one hand, politically calls on Iran to adhere to the JCPOA, and on the other hand, hopes that by intensifying Iran's economic challenges and, of course, possible changes in regional developments, it will eventually force Iran to abandon nuclear, missile and regional activities.

Secretary of State Pompeo recently said; US policy is that Iran has no right to enrich. Although Pompeo's remarks are part of Trump's views, the American record of behavior suggests a different truth.

"We hope Iran and North Korea will continue to do the same, because the United States wants to dismantle all of their nuclear facilities," said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in 2003, when Libya destroyed its nuclear facilities.

Obama also said about JCPOA: "Our goal is that if we could unscrew all the nuclear nuts and bolts of Iran, but it is not possible now."

Trump has repeatedly stated in his speech that Iran has no right to pursue nuclear activities. This view is also seen among Europeans, as in the 2001, when Iran suspended its nuclear activities under the Paris-Saadabad agreement with three European countries, European officials officially stated that they would not allow Iran to have even one centrifuge and imposed sanctions and pressure on it and will continue as long as it has even one centrifuge.

Given these records, it is clear that what matters to Iran is the lifting of sanctions, not just the return of the United States to the JCPOA. In other words; The United States should not consider its return to the violated agreement as a concession to Iran, because the principle of their return to the JCPOA has basically no issue for Iran.

The point is that; Europe and the United States are now in a big test to test their sincerity in reviving JCPOA, and that is the issue of Iran's demands from South Korea, the $ 7 billion that Seoul has blocked and claims it cannot afford because of the Iranian banking embargo.

Interestingly, the West refers to this issue as the internal issue of South Korea, which does not consider the independence of countries in the implementation of sanctions, and has forced them to participate in sanctions by exerting pressure, regardless of their right to independence and sovereignty.

In other words; Creating  problems by the West in this regard has exposed their dishonesty, and this is a proof of Iran's legitimacy of Iran's distrust of the West's claims to try to revive JCPOA, which exposes the need to implement the precondition of lifting sanctions before the US returns to JCPOA.
