USA will regret quitting Iran nuclear deal: Rouhani
It will also make it much harder to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
“I said it from the start, it has to be either fully fixed or fully nixed”, Netanyahu said.
Iran insists there is no way it will renegotiate the multilateral nuclear pact, which was endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution 2231 in 2015.
Netanyahu was a vocal opponent of the deal when it was reached during the Obama administration.
Under the 2015 deal brokered by President Barack Obama and other world powers, Iran agreed to nuclear restrictions in exchange for billions in sanctions relief. Israeli leaders have lobbied against Trump’s proposal to pull US troops out of Syria, and urged Russian Federation not to send state-of-the-art air defenses there.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivers a speech on Iran’s nuclear program at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv on April 30, 2018.
This increasing pressure from multiple sources will make it hard for Iran to maintain its position that internal policies are not influenced by outside actors, as the pressure for defensive measures increases. “Trump will either reject the deal or – if not – sabotage it”, Rouhani said, according to dpa. Iran has to grant permission for these inspections.
Iran’s president also said that while he is open to discussing the country’s regional role, he would not abandon what he described as its fight “against terrorism”.
Last week, Netanyahu claimed that the Iran nuclear deal was “based on lies” and that Iranian officials were “brazenly lying” when they said Iran wasn’t pursuing nuclear weapons.
Mr Trump has strongly criticised the agreement, calling it “insane”. This plan wouldn’t include Russia, China and Iran.
People in the Trump camp contacted private investigators in May a year ago to “get dirt” on Ben Rhodes, who had been one of Barack Obama’s top national security advisers, and Colin Kahl, deputy assistant to Obama, as part of an elaborate attempt to discredit the deal….
It remains unclear what would happen if the U.S. withdraws from the deal but the other countries remain committed.
After chilly meetings with Trump at the White House, German Chancellor Angela Merkel capitulated to the Trump diktat by saying tht the JCPOA is “not sufficient” to curb and contain “Iran’s ambitions”. For example, Europe businesses owned or controlled by American parent companies would breach the sanctions if they didn’t cut off Iran. The plan, the Israeli officials believe, is to launch several missiles toward Israeli military targets.
As well as Iran, Mr Johnson’s talks are expected to cover North Korea – ahead of President Donald Trump’s planned meeting with Kim Jong Un – and the situation in Syria. He has, of course, found this to be impossible on a number of issues: including the wall along the US-Mexican border which, he said, Mexico would finance.
He pointed out that “it would be a mistake to walk away from the nuclear agreement and remove the restraints that it places on Iran”. In recent years, Iran has provided crucial military support to Syrian President Bashar Assad. According to Ronan Farrow’s Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting about Weinstein for the New Yorker, Black Cube investigators, using false identities, met with McGowan and a journalist in attempts to extract information which could be used to stop the publication of allegations of abuse against Weinstein.
