Iran will Retaliate if US Breaches Nuclear Agreements
This legislation is meant to ensure the radical Iranian regime complies with the worldwide nuclear agreement. If not renewed at the end of this year by the Senate along with outgoing President Barack Obama’s signature, the 1996 law will expire.
The Obama administration, meanwhile, is working to block the passage of additional sanctions against Iran before Trump takes office, CNN reported Tuesday, part of a final push to salvage the deal.
“Slovenian President’s visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran for the first time in 25 years and opening of the country’s embassy in Tehran indicates strong resolve for developing ties”, added the President.
The team added that Obama owed President-elect Donald Trump the opportunity to assess the us policy toward Iran.
The White House believes that the legislation would be a violation of the nuclear pact and has said Mr Obama would veto the measure even if it did pass the senate.
“The Iranians will have to decide whether the European markets are worth it or one could imagine Iran simply saying, ‘The deal is off, ‘ and we’ll unwind all the way back to where we were five, six years ago”, said Duncan Hollis, an worldwide law professor at Temple University.
A USA withdrawal from the agreement will present Iran with a conundrum.
Under the JCPOA, Iran undertook to put limitations on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions imposed against Tehran.
The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued a second license to Airbus for the sale of airliners to Iran, the company confirmed Tuesday.
Trump went further in his opposition to the deal during a speech at last March’s American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference, saying he would “dismantle” the nuclear deal. Republicans in Congress are considering options in dealing with Iran. Iran’s top leader has warned that renewal of a decades-old sanction on his country will lead to reaction by Tehran.
Khamenei’s threat echoed one made last week by Ali Shamkhani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
Iran has sent some “surplus” heavy water to Oman, an Iranian nuclear spokesman was quoted as saying on Sunday, after a United Nations atomic watchdog said Tehran was over a soft limit set under its nuclear deal with major powers. “That time, Iran exceeded the limit by a greater amount, with 130.9 tons”. It has blocked all possible avenues to an Iranian nuclear weapon.
The issue of funding investment, which Tehran complains has been held up by continued USA sanctions restricting Iran’s access to the worldwide banking and financial system, would be high on the agenda, he said. It was signed in July 2015 by Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, in addition to Iran and the United States. Sick is better known for circulating a false story in 1980 that that the Reagan campaign persuaded the Iranian government to not free USA hostages until after the 1980 election to ensure President Carter’s defeat.
