On Thursday, Tehran hit back at the US after Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Iran must return to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal before the Biden administration does.
“Reality check for @SecBlinken, the US violated JCPOA, blocked food/medicine to Iranians, punished adherence to UNSCR 2231,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif wrote on Twitter.
“Throughout that sordid mess, Iran abided by JCPOA, only took foreseen remedial measures. Now, who should take 1st step? Never forget Trump’s maximum failure,” Zarif added.
In his comments on Wednesday, Blinken said “it would take some time” for Iran to return to compliance and then for the US to “assess whether it was meeting its obligations.” His statement shows that the Biden administration is in no hurry to lift sanctions.
In an interview with USA Today that was published on Thursday, Iran’s ambassador to the UN said the US “must act quickly” to lift sanctions on Iran and reiterated that Tehran is ready to return to the JCPOA once that happens.
“We have said time and again that if the US decides to go back to its international commitments and lift all the illegal sanctions against Iran, we will go back to the full implementation of JCPOA, which will benefit all sides,” Majid Takht-Ravanchi said.
While on the campaign trail, President Biden said he would work with Iran to revive the JCPOA and restore diplomacy with the Islamic Republic. But so far, no dialogue between the two nations has been reported, and Iran is still under crippling economic sanctions.
The Empire has no idea how to deal with Iran. Iran is a Civilzation more than 10 times older than the Empire which isn’t old enough to even be a Civilization, it’s just a Country.
Yes, a” civilization” that grabs stray dogs in the streets and injects them with phenol to cause agonizing deaths.
A-Bombs. Napalm. Agent Orange. Depleted Uranium. Cluster Bombs. Firebombing. Of course the dogs were humanely vaporized.
What sort of cretin thinks that these things are a joke.You are just bitter because you allowed yourself to be used as cannon fodder, and feel you must have the last word because you are a fool.
Your comprehension skills are poor.
Destroying & taking over others’ countries & lands, destroying infrastructures, hospitals, TV, & radio stations killing families, their hopes & dreams, or just engaging in a slow & systematic genocide of a population would be civil & humane!
It all depends on who does it, right?
As shown in this article, there is a very complicated web which connects Iran’s nuclear program to decisions made by Washington during the Ford Administration:

Washington’s geopolitical maneuverings often lead to a series of unintended consequences, particularly when it comes to dealing with Iran.
Blinken is just another operative of the Deep State that transcends political partisanship.
Iran continues to set a good example for other countries (like China) in countering the US’s “rules-based international order” which is globaloney, an attempt to hold onto Full Spectrum World Dominance.
“globaloney”
Classic.
I liked it too, so I stole it.
…some good news
Biden appoints Rob Malley as Iran envoy despite backlash from hawks
Yes, the hope would be that Malley will fix things behind the scenes while Blinken is posturing for the Congresscritters and the MSM. Let’s see what happens over the next few weeks, because there’s not much time.
