NOURNEWS - Following the announcement of Iran's decision to suspend the voluntary implementation of the Additional Protocol and the official submission of our country to the International Atomic Energy Agency in this regard, the new European and American troika movement has resumed based on the old "absurd game" model.
In the first step, following the holding of a joint virtual meeting of the European Troika with the United States on Thursday, February 20, four Western countries issued a joint statement urging Iran not to take any new steps to withdraw from the Additional Protocol.
The statement also warned Iran about restrictions on International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors visiting Iranian sites.
In the statement, the three European countries and the United States reiterated the repeated and unacceptable position of the Biden administration and said: "If Iran returns to strict compliance with its obligations in the UN Security Council, the United States will take similar action and is ready to consult with Iran on this goal."
"The European troika must live up to its commitments and call for an end to Trump's legacy of economic terrorism against Iran, instead of slandering and holding Iran accountable," the foreign minister said in response to the statement.
"Our corrective action is in response to violations by the United States and the European troika," he said. If you are afraid of the consequences, eliminate the cause.
Yesterday, the absurd game of the Western sides continued with the announcement of accepting the European invitation from the United States to participate in the P5 + 1 meeting with Iran, and US State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters that the country had invited the EU representative to attend a meeting. The P5 + 1 group will meet with Iran to discuss a diplomatic route to Iran's nuclear program.
At the same time, the United States withdrew the Trump administration's failed request to implement the trigger mechanism and implement UN sanctions against Iran. The US request had already received a resounding negative vote from members of the UN Security Council during the Trump administration.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also unveiled another part of the US decision on Thursday, announcing the US readiness to negotiate with Iran on the return of the two countries to JCPOA. European country has announced.
Blinken's remarks come as Iran has never withdrawn from the Security Council and has taken a series of measures to reduce its obligations under the JCPOA in accordance with Articles 26 and 36 of the agreement.
It is very clear that the set of these actions, according to our Foreign Minister, is a sophistry to impose responsibility on Iran.
Europe and the United States seem to be pursuing two goals simultaneously by pursuing this new game:
First; Convincing domestic and foreign public opinion about the US intention to change course and return to JCPOA.
Second; Influence on Iran's will to refrain from taking any action to stop the voluntary implementation of the Additional Protocol.
This old game, which is pursued with a delayed approach in order to maintain the status quo and force Iran to fulfill its obligations without receiving any concessions, is fully revealed to the Islamic Republic of Iran and cannot affect the decisions taken to implement the law "Strategic action to lift sanctions" without compromise. Have.
The series of events of yesterday (Thursday, February 18) continued with the telephone consultation of Charles Michel, President of the Council of Europe, with the President of our country about JCPOA, while some media outlets announced the possibility of announcing the return of the United States to JCPOA during US President Joe Biden’s speech. The announcement was made according to a virtual meeting of the Munich Security Conference to be held today (Friday, February 19).
Based on the assessment of the dishonest behavior of the European and American sides in the past and their efforts to "promise a cure", Iran has explicitly stated that it has no value in the return or non-return of the United States to JCPOA and only the lifting of all sanctions after verification. From Tehran's point of view, it can be considered a positive step.
The Supreme Leader of the Revolution, with intelligence and anticipation of the behavior of the law-breaking and disobedient parties in JCPOA, who usually follow the policy of impracticality and fruitless rhetoric instead of solving the problem and fulfilling their legal obligations, announced Iran's clear and decisive position on Wednesday. Now you have made a promise and the promise no longer has any effect. "Today, Iran is just waiting for action."
