US ready for talks with Iran to de-escalate conflict

The United States is ready to negotiate with Iran without preconditions to reduce tensions in the region. This is stated in a letter to the US Permanent Representative to the UN Kelly Kraft, sent to the Security Council, Reuters reported with reference to the text of the document.

The document notes that Washington is ready to negotiate with Tehran to "prevent a further threat to international peace and stability or escalation from the Iranian regime." At the same time, the United States is ready to take additional measures if the conflict continues.



The US is ready to take additional measures in the region if it becomes necessary to protect American personnel and interests

- says the text of the document.

The letter also explains the assassination of Iranian general Kassem Suleimani. According to the document, the United States exercised its right to self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, which obliges countries to immediately report to the Security Council on military operations undertaken for self-defense. According to her, US airstrikes on the Iraqi Shiite militia al-Hashd al-Shaabi on December 29, 2019 were launched "in response to a series of attacks by Iran and the formations it supports on American forces and interests in the Middle East."

Kelly Kraft emphasized that all US actions did not go beyond international laws.

          It is a serious delusion that "the king is already naked", in this story the United States crossed another red line and eliminated almost the second person in power and influence in Iran. What other country in the world can do this? And the fact that Iran showed its teeth can be considered as weakness, given how all this was done, what targets were chosen and the statement after the response that we have taken revenge and will not attack anymore. Yes, Iran retained its face, but here it was clearly afraid to cross the line, for which even the Senate and opponents of Trump would not be able to look at it calmly. And the point here is far from weakness in the United States, but the fact that their power is now more worried about the internal struggle for power and the same Trump is bound by many restrictions, not to mention an attempt at impeachment.

              I do not belong to fans of the USA, there are simply a lot of people on the site who hate the USA and cannot look at the whole picture without emotion. For example, many write, the USA was all blown away, they were afraid to answer ... but no one delves into the subtlety of the fact that Trump is now impeached, in January in the Senate hearings on this case and frankly now he does not need war, since there is no support among voters whom he promised to return troops home, and even more so among opponents who are one step away from depriving him of power. If he had domestic support, then everything could have turned out differently for Iran. And Iran, too, retained only a face with this gesture, here are their recent statement:

              "Iran has completed its revenge for the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani and will not take new military action in the absence of aggression from the United States," said Iranian Permanent Representative to the UN Majid Takht-Ravanchi.

              “All our actions were proportional to the murder of Qasem Suleimani. They are complete. If the United States no longer takes military action against Iran, on our part, we will not take such actions either, ”the Iranian diplomat TASS quoted as saying.

              therefore, the loss of Iran is more likely here, since Sulemaini is difficult to replace with someone. The only thing if the Americans leave BV is that it will be a strategic victory, but it is doubtful if their military will leave Iraq, but they have many bases on BV in other countries, and the Americans are definitely not going from there.

    Well, by golly, kindergarten pants with straps. Why so euphoric?
    Believe me, my soul also warms that someone spat on the hegemon in the face.
    But get back to sober logic. After all, nothing prevents the United States from withdrawing all its military to a range that is not attainable for Iranian missiles. And then simply to demolish the Iranian air defense with a massive blow with "axes" and all the rest of which the US arsenal is full. After that, creating chaos in this area is a matter of technology.
    I hope Iran takes advantage of the emerging respite to strengthen the country's defense capabilities. Sooner or later, the United States will necessarily break any agreement.

    If Iran does not negotiate, the threat could be repeated. And in fact they have no leverage to "set conditions" on the Americans. I think that the Iranians will agree to a new version of the nuclear deal. Despite the fact that the new option for Iran will be worse than the previous one.
    Iran "calmed" its citizens with this missile strike. But everyone understands perfectly well that it was an agreement. Blow into the void. Iran had enough political endurance and common sense. This is a plus for him. But it is hardly worth considering him a winner

      [Andrey.AN]May clarify the nature of these phenomena


      I feel that the "halal" installation will finish the "vigorous" installation, and then a specific kirdyk will appear in front of the "kosher" ones, because I don't know how to get to the USA, but it will fly to the "Old Testament" ones, and crawl through underground tunnels, and the lasers in the "fog" won't will help, and the "iron dome" may rust, but the country is not big, there may be enough for everyone ... Such can be the case ... feel

        Jews are not fools, they understand in general that no one will begin to exterminate them from scratch, they will use it as long as there are other people's weaknesses, then they will become an example of law-abiding, will use international laws.

        The Ayatollahs know that the Israeli response will quickly lower them to the level of Afghanistan - both in terms of population, and in terms of infrastructure and industry - therefore there will simply be a parity of threats.

          "Yaren loaf" (if it appears (appears) in Iran) will also lower Israel to the level of the "Old Testament" times, so yes, there will be parity. wink
