US officials continue to reject the idea of removing the IRGC from the terror blacklist, arguing it is beyond the scope of the nuclear deal.
State Department officials say Iran would have to discuss issues beyond the nuclear deal if they want the IRGC covered, and claimed Iran was unwilling to do that.
The signs were that Iran originally envisioned this issue as a sideline to the nuclear deal. Moreover, the US has ruled out delisting them because of political difficulties, and seems to want to just keep reiterating that.
Iran and EU officials have indicated there were multiple issues still to be resolved between the US and Iran. Since US officials didn’t touch on any other issues, but just the already well-documented IRGC refusal, it seems the allegations that the US is dragging things out are a fair assessment.
So in other words, the US is using this issue as an attempt to slip in the back door the extraneous issues they originally threw in at the start of the negotiations about Iran’s missile program, etc.
Tell me again how we’re “close to a deal.” What a total circus.
Iran should advise Biden team seek reciprocity from the donors of Donald Trump.
There will be no resolution before the 2022 elections. This is not the first case that our elections interfered with diplomatic efforts vs. Iran.
Of course, because we know who the biggest donors are.
How about a trade? They can have our war criminals sent to trial in the International Court. We’ve got lots, and we’d be better off without them.
Those who speak up in favor of war criminals are themselves thus also war criminals. Accessory-after-the-fact, to give benefit of the doubt.
How about Iran designating the US military as a Terrorist Group? It would certainly be more accurate.
The author fails to note that the “deal” won’t happen because IsraHell doesn’t want it to happen. Case closed.
I was going to suggest that Iran “reciprocate” by taking the US military off the terror list.
