"We will make every possible effort": the United States intends to maintain anti-Iranian sanctions

The United States continues to try to maintain UN sanctions on Iran. As the head of the US State Department, Mike Pompeo, said yesterday, Washington will make every possible effort for this.

Our actions should not surprise anyone. Our team is making every necessary diplomatic effort to restore the supply embargo weapons Iran. (...) Iran will again be held responsible for other harmful activities. Iran will again be prohibited from testing ballistic missiles, sanctions will be imposed on Iran for activities within the framework of the nuclear program, for the enrichment of nuclear materials, which can be used in the program to develop nuclear weapons

- said the Secretary of State.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that he had instructed the State Department to notify the UN of the restoration of sanctions against Iran as part of the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA). However, Britain, Germany and France opposed this, and Russia called an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, which did not take place due to the US refusal to participate in it.

At the same time, the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, in a statement released on Friday night, pointed out that the United States, not being a member of the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA), cannot participate in the application of the anti-Iranian sanctions return mechanism.

I take note of today's US announcement of the so-called "snapback mechanism" under UN Security Council Resolution 2231. (...) The United States unilaterally ended its participation in the JCPOA on the basis of a presidential memorandum on May 8, 2018, and subsequently did not participate in any activities related to the JCPOA. Consequently, they cannot be considered a State party to the JCPOA, which has the right to launch a possible lifting of the sanctions provided for in the resolution

- he said.

They do not participate, but ... they impose sanctions ..

They can, while their currency is in reserve.
Those who disagree will receive sanctions.

You Alexander, like the fabulist Aesop, speak in allegories. A strong Iran worries Israel more than Russia. Not only Russia opposed the extension of the sanctions.

Moscow, August 20. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo intends to deliver a notification on Iran to the UN Security Council chairman on August 20. Russia's Permanent Representative to the International Organization Vasily Nebenzya stressed that Moscow would not recognize this document.

BRUSSELS, Aug 21 - RIA Novosti. The United States withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian Nuclear Program (JCPOA), so it cannot demand the restoration of sanctions under this mechanism, said EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy Josep Borrell.

Israel cannot defeat Iran alone. And you are unlikely to find those who want to take part in such an adventure. Therefore, you will have to get used to new realities.
PS Do not blame me for annoying you again.
Despite our differences, I respect you.

[A. Privalov]

Quote: Vladimir_6

Despite our differences

There is no discussion without disagreement.

What do you mean by "Israel cannot defeat Iran"?
How, in general, do you imagine any "overcoming" of Iran by Israel?

Is this Israeli rhetoric, or Iranian:

Khamenei said the nuclear deal does not negate the fact that Israel will be destroyed.
Brigadier General Rahim Safavi, Khamenei's top military adviser, argued that the only way to free "occupied Palestine from a criminal, villainous, inhuman and anti-Muslim regime is to unite Muslims, develop a strategy for Islamic resistance and continue armed jihad."

Ahmad Karimpour, a senior adviser to the late Qasem Soleimani, commander of the elite Quds unit of the IRGC, said: "We have enough weapons to destroy the Zionist regime in eight minutes if the Supreme Leader orders."

Brigadier General Hussein Salami, deputy commander of the IRGC, is convinced that Israel is facing an imminent end: "We should not forget that Hezbollah has more than 100.000 missiles at its disposal, and Iran has ten times more, of different types - our power is limitless." ...

General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC's aerospace forces, recalls: "Israel is surrounded by Muslim countries, and its life will be short-lived - the Jewish state will disappear before all these missiles hit it. It is clear to us that Israel is evil, and our missiles with a range of up to 2.000 km can destroy it from a distance. We do not intend to conquer other countries, we will only help the oppressed peoples - the Palestinians, Yemeni Hutis and other Arab minorities - to throw off tyrants. "

[Vladimir_6]

Quote: A. Privalov

What do you mean by "Israel cannot defeat Iran"?

That, "The military power of Iran exceeds the power of Israel, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia"

According to a Global Fire Power (GFP) survey published in the United States, Iran's potential military power surpasses that of the Zionist regime and countries such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
The US-based organization Global Fire Power (GFP) publishes an analytical survey of data on 138 modern military powers annually. The GFP rating is based on each country's potential military capabilities on land, at sea and in the air.

How, in general, do you imagine any "overcoming" of Iran by Israel?

Based on the above, no one on their own.

Is this Israeli rhetoric, or Iranian:

Iran has rhetoric, because Israel has deeds.

In 1981, Israel bombed the Osirak nuclear reactor in Iraq, calling it Operation Opera. The actions of the Jewish state were condemned by the international community, Washington then suspended the sale of weapons to Tel Aviv, and the UN Security Council ordered Jews to pay compensation to Baghdad.
In September 2007, during Operation Fruit Orchard, Israeli F-16 and F-15 planes in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor attacked, presumably, a nuclear installation that was under construction. Israel's intelligence ministry then called the attack a WARNING FOR IRAN.

Iran heeded the warning and is preparing to repel the aggression.

[A. Privalov]

In other owls, all this anti-Israel rhetoric from the fear of forty years ago? Okay. Let them be afraid.
By the way, in 2007, after the destruction of the unfinished reactor, Syria practically did not even make a sound.

One cow cake is just a cake, when there are a lot of cow cake - this is already organic fertilizers.
The first sanctions are sensitive, they are sanctions, and when there are sanctions against everyone and when there are many of them, these are no longer sanctions - they are America's self-isolation. Even Europe is already tired of the US sanctions imposed on any occasion.
The imposed sanctions are not America's strength - this is its weakness.

Every line of your post is riddled with nervousness. Why's that? I will not believe that a citizen of Israel cares so much for the insulted and deceived Russia. Your nervousness because Russia's actions do not fit into Israel's militaristic plans to destroy Iran.
And for the written off billions of debts of the USSR, Russia was entrenched in Africa and Venezuela. All losses will return with a profit.

In other words, if I wrote that I deeply don’t give a damn about abused and deceived Russia, would that fit into your worldview?

What "militaristic plans of Israel to destroy Iran" are you talking about? Above, I have already cited Iranian statements about the destruction of Israel and calls for this. Didn't you confuse anything?

Here are the materials on losses and write-offs:

In September, Russia’s 2000 was written off $ 9,53 billion from Vietnam’s $ 11,03 billion.
In 2001, Russia wrote off Ethiopia $ 4,8 billion (out of $ 6 billion).
In 2003, Russia wrote off $ 11,1 billion to Mongolia.
In 2003, Russia wrote off Laos $ 960 million debt to Laos.
In 2004, Russia completely wrote off the balance of Nicaragua's debt of $ 344 million.

In 2004, Russia wrote off $ 9,5-9,8 billion of debt to Iraq (a total of $ 10,5 billion).
In 2005, Russia wrote off $ 9,782 billion (out of $ 13,4 billion) of debt to the USSR to Syria.
In the same year, Russia wrote off Ethiopia $ 1,104 billion (of $ 1,268 billion) of the debt remaining after 2001.

In 2006, Russia wrote off Algeria $ 4,7 billion in debt to the USSR.
In 2007, Russia wrote off $ 11,1 billion of debt to Afghanistan.
In the same year, Russia wrote off $ 4,5 billion of debt to Libya. Libya then had a gold reserve of about 143-156 tons. Some financial experts estimated Libya's gold and foreign exchange reserves at 200 billion. At that time, Libya produced oil (in the amount of about 1.6 million barrels per day) with an average price of a barrel of Brent oil from $ 100 to $ 110.

In 2008, Russia wrote off $ 12 billion to Iraq (out of $ 12,9 billion). Moreover, it was already a new debt, for loans obtained after the forgiveness of the previous debt in 2004.

In 2010, Russia wrote off $ 891 million of debt to Afghanistan, after which the entire volume of Afghan debts written off by Russia reached $ 12 billion.

In 2010, Russia wrote off $ 180 million of debt to Mongolia.
In 2012, Russia wrote off $ 11 billion of debt to the DPRK.
In 2014, Russia wrote off $ 31,7 billion (or 90% of $ 35,2 billion) of debt to the USSR to Cuba. The remaining 10% of the debt (about $ 3,5 billion) will be repaid by Cuba over the next ten years in equal semi-annual payments. It should be noted - this write-off has become the largest in the entire history of Russia. Prior to this, the biggest write-off of debt was to write off $ 12 billion at a time to Iraq.

In 2019, it was announced that the total accumulated amount of debt cancellations from 1991 to 2019 in favor of African countries from Russia amounted to more than $ 20 billion.
In total, if we consider only large loans that exceed $ 1 billion, it turns out that Russia has written off about $ 20 billion over 140 years.

Now, dear Vladimir, please tell us how and when, in your words, all these "losses will return with profit."

If Iran is a scoundrel, this does not mean that Russia has no opinion. These two facts are not connected in any way. Whom and to whom is there to be jealous?

These materials are in the public domain. There was no need to list.

In total, if we consider only large loans that exceed $ 1 billion, it turns out that Russia has written off about $ 20 billion over 140 years.

Sorry Alexander, but for the Jewish mentality this is certainly incomprehensible to the mind.
“We constantly hear the news about how Russia is once again writing off huge sums of money to some country. And then a quite reasonable question arises in my head: what the hell? After all, Russia could spend these funds on its problems, which are more than enough. understand the issue.
By and large, the practice of writing off debts to other countries is not considered only Russian; many Western countries are engaged in this. This practice also existed during the Soviet era. Currently, there are several international programs that are aimed at writing off the debts of poor countries to other countries and the IMF.
As an example, we can take the Paris Club, which includes many developed countries of the world, including Russia. The Paris Club deals with debt restructuring of poor countries and is a debt advisor. Over 70 years, this club has written off more than $ 500 billion in debt. There are also special cases, for example Greece. She was written off $ 100 billion of debt to avoid default in the country. "
"But back to Russia. Since 1991, Russia has written off $ 140 billion in debts. Impressive, isn't it? Why did Russia need this? It's worth delving into the question. First, debts are forgiven for insolvent countries when it becomes it is clear that it would be practically impossible to get this money, the debt would simply remain in the country's account and would hardly ever be paid off.
The second important factor is that many of the debts written off are the debts of countries to the Soviet Union and in fact never touched the Russian budget. The third and perhaps most important factor in debt cancellation is obtaining other benefits from the debtor. To get at least some benefit, Russia does not forgive a debt for nothing. "
I do not give the link. You know everything perfectly well without me.

[A. Privalov]

Quote: Vladimir_6

Russia does not forgive a debt for nothing.

We have gone too far from the topic.
Let me once again more clearly and simply, without the language of Aesop, formulate the opinion expressed earlier.
Selling modern weapons to a direct competitor in the oil market, a state leading an independent and very aggressive policy in a sensitive region where the Russian Federation has its own interests is not the wisest decision.
When a temporary companion armed with your own weapon - completely reckless regime of the ayatollahs (I repeat), will start kicking and kicking (there are historical precedents), it will no longer be up to the calculation of profitability or other benefits.
They sit by your side and spread Shiite radical Islam. Such Islam is even worse than the Sunni Islam, because it was possible to curb the Sunni to a greater extent, practically defeating the bandits in Syria, and Iran is a country with a nuclear potential, not a bandit formation.
By the way, they have nothing to pay. It will again be loans in the hope of some future benefits, but it's the same as giving money to an old drunk, in the hope that he will eventually come to his senses, go to work and you will have a business relationship with him.

I am not dismissing potential concerns about possible interference from Iran to Russia.
Therefore, I used the expression

A strong Iran worries Israel MORE than Russia.

In addition, I posted Panarin's video on the same topic.

But I am sure that the Russian leadership is calculating its steps and does not set itself the goal of destroying Israel by the hands of Iran.

Not. It's just that the views of Iranian expansion may turn towards the former Soviet Central Asia, Azerbaijan. And how and what will happen - no one can predict.

The presence of the amount of nuclear weapons that North Korea has is not a guarantee of its security. She just doesn't need anyone, her destruction will require too much effort, financial and human resources? Do you really think that someone in the West is afraid of her. There is no political decision to destroy this reserve. That is, so that the DPRK does not puff and feed other countries.
