West cheers Iran for ‘pathetic low’ results as it races to bomb

That quote came to mind this week, when the West held back from considering taking the tiniest stance against Iran that, like the Nazis, does not hide its aspiration to kill millions of Jews in exchange for a modest concession from Tehran . for its rapidly expanding nuclear program.

There have been two tracks of nuclear talks with Iran this year.

Six rounds of talks took place in Vienna between April and June, at which point Iran said it needed time for its presidential election and for its new government to enter office. That new government is highly skeptical about the JCPOA, which was negotiated by its predecessor, and has made only vague statements about returning to talks.

The second track is negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency to continue monitoring Iran’s nuclear program under the terms of the JCPOA. In February, Iran withdrew from the “Additional Protocol,” which gave the IAEA greater surveillance capabilities. The UN nuclear watchdog signed a three-month deal with Tehran at the time, which it renewed once, so that cameras could record information on Iranian nuclear sites. However, the IAEA will not have access to that information. After three months, the IAEA would have to replace the cameras’ batteries and memory cards, which was permitted in May, but not in August.

This week, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi visited Tehran to meet with the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), and the sides reached an agreement to services surveillance equipment to the IAEA – but still up to the data. No access has been found. Equipment assembled.

But this renewal of the IAEA-AEOI agreement did not happen in a vacuum. A week ago, the IAEA issued a report rebuking Iran for stoning the UN nuclear watchdog since 2018 over nuclear material found in undeclared locations.

The IAEA report said, “The lack of progress in clarifying the agency’s questions regarding the correctness and completeness of Iran’s declarations of security measures seriously affects the agency’s ability to provide assurances of the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program.” affects.”

In addition, the non-proliferation think tank Institute for Science and International Security, also known as the “good ISIS”, estimated that the worst-case scenario reflected in the IAEA report is that Iran has enough weapons-grade uranium for a bomb. can produce. Month. That doesn’t mean they’ll have a nuclear weapon in a month – it takes time to convert uranium into a bomb – but it’s still pretty close.

And it is much closer than the limit of the JCPOA, which was intended to limit Iran for a year from the breakout. If Iran returns to the negotiations and ultimately the deal itself, it could dispose of up to 60% of its enriched uranium. But the knowledge it now has on that front, and the development of uranium metals—both with no credible civilian use—to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of the Ayatollah will continue to make fun of the JCPOA.

Following the report, the US and the E3 – France, Germany and the UK, the European side of the Iran deal – began drafting a resolution condemning Iran, which will be presented at the IAEA board of governors meeting on Monday. Iran has raised some angry noises about the politicization of the IAEA and a resolution that would threaten future JCPOA talks – talks in which they have not made a concrete commitment to rejoin.

Finally, Western states never formally proposed that proposal. He dropped it so that Grossi could negotiate the ability to replace some camera memory cards, but didn’t even notice what’s on them. He left it so that he could negotiate further to return to the nuclear deal, which Iran has already weakened, almost to the point of irrelevance.

As a Vienna-based diplomat told Reuters this week: “Iran played its cards well. The promise to continue high-level discussions on the outstanding issues managed to ease pressure for a solution, even if grossly Tehran.” Was brought back from, was pathetic less.”

Pathetic is the right word. The West has again appeased an anti-Semitic, genocidal regime – and to what end?

The results would not let them monitor Iran’s nuclear program. The potential long-term outcome – a return to the JCPOA – would allow for better surveillance, of course, but at this point, it would also make it easier for Iran to direct weapons of mass destruction at Israel soon after the deal ends. Will give in less than a decade. And in the meantime, sanctions relief from the agreement would free up more money for the Islamic Republic to fund terrorist proxies in the Middle East.

The Good ISIS said in its initial analysis of the IAEA report that “world leaders will, in essence, choose the facility rather than undertake the difficult but important task of determining whether Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful.” US and E3 said they are going to rejoin the JCPOA, and they stick to that goal, even if it doesn’t mean anything, to the extent of harming the institutions they’re supposed to support. claims – to defame the IAEA – and amplify a threat to their alleged ally, Israel.

The disgrace of America and E3 is clear in this matter. And unless the world is ready to take the slightest action against Iran, the threat of war draws even closer.
