It’s very difficult to accuse Iran of being in violation of the P5+1 nuclear deal, because they are plainly not. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is responsible for policing the deal, confirms on a monthly basis that this remains the case, and that Iran has not been in violation of the pact.
That’s an inconvenience for the Trump Administration, which has repeatedly condemned the deal and insisted Iran would violate it. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley appears to have decided that the path of least resistance is overt lying, today claiming at the UN Security Council that Iran had “repeated violations” of the deal.
The claim was made literally during a meeting at which all the other permanent members of the Security Council were talking up how great it is that the deal is in place, and that Iran is showing such a deep commitment to its continued participation.
This sort of undercut Haley, who tried to elaborate on the “violations,” but really just accused Iran of supporting the governments of Syria and Iraq in the war against ISIS. Naturally, this was never a condition of the nuclear deal, and nor was Iran’s development of conventional missiles.
Most of the other Security Council members just sort of politely smiled throughout and ignored the ravings of Haley, who vowed that the US wouldn’t turn a blind eye to the imagined violations. Britain’s deputy Ambassador, however, issued a statement warning that the US and everyone else need to uphold their own commitments under the P5+1 deal.
That’s really been the biggest obstacle to the deal, that the US has mostly ignored sanction relief they were obliged to offer under the deal, and Congressional hawks opposed to the deal have imposed a bunch of “new” sanctions to replace anything that was removed, nominally for “non-nuclear” reasons.
Every time I hear Nikki Haley open her mouth the “C” word comes to mind. She’s earned it.
I’m a transfluid feminist and I honestly cant argue with that. Some people are c*nts and gender’s got nothing to do with it. I call Trump a c*nt pretty much every day.
She’s a nasty ,nasty woman.
The woman is an embarrassment to adult women everywhere and most particularly to every American.
The good news here is that the world is no longer taking America’s bullsh*t seriously. The bad news is America doesn’t give a sh*t and we’ve got bombs.
The American Congress and Senate take their Mid-East policy data form IAPAC in the form of weekly status reports and frequent campaign contributions. The USA is being herded into an Iran/USA war similar to the way they were led into the Iraq war.
Nicky Haley runs out of dead babies and gassing evidence, so, switch to Iran. IIf that fails there’s the fallback to”Putin did it.’?
Those fooled by Nicky Haley are the least of our concerns, as our Empire builders are gearing up for a massive campaign to make Putin look cowardly and Russia appear weak and helpless. Will Putin let some of his S-300 missiles fly? We shall see.
