Foreign AffairsRe: US Seeks Indefinite UN Arms Embargo On Iran by dermmy(op):
Antiochus:
It's like Iran is giving these people nightmares. Everyday Iran Iran with their corona virus woes.
Lol. America knows it won't materialise Russia and China will veto such attempt. The arms embargo is not even part of the nuclear deal Iran and western powers reached in 2015 and it will expire in some months to come.

And this is just a futile attempt because the country is self sufficient they build their defence equipments locally. What they would like to add to it now are Russian fighter jets and the S-400 which i believe America really dreads. If Russia and China veto this move America would resort to threat as usual, threaten Russia and China with sanctions should both countries sell defence equipment to Iran.

The military satellite Iran launched last week was a big shock to America the question of how Iran was able to launch a satellite configured with military modules amidst crippling sanctions is what they still find difficult to answer.

They are busy arming Saudi Arabia, UAE and Israel but it is a sin for Russia and China to sell weapons to Iran. Lol
Foreign AffairsUS Seeks Indefinite UN Arms Embargo On Iran by dermmy(op): 8:16am On Apr 29, 2020
The United States has circulated a draft U.N. resolution that would indefinitely extend a U.N. arms embargo on Iran set to expire in October, a move almost certain to spark opposition from Russia, which has made no secret of its desire to resume conventional weapons sales to Tehran, U.S. officials and U.N. diplomats said Tuesday.

The draft document, which as of Tuesday had been circulated only to a small number of Security Council members, would strike the expiration of the arms embargo from the council resolution that endorsed the 2015 nuclear deal between six major powers and Iran, according to Trump administration officials and U.N. diplomats, who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The U.S. officials said the aim is to present the resolution for a vote in May when Estonia, a NATO member and close U.S. ally that is not party to the nuclear deal, holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council.

The arms embargo was not a part of the landmark 2015 accord, but Iran has long sought its removal and its expiration was included in the council resolution as a reward for Iranian compliance with the agreement's nuclear restrictions. Since Iran is admittedly no longer complying with several elements of the nuclear deal, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the administration believes it has a case to make that the embargo should not be lifted, the officials said.

Still, any attempt to extend the embargo will likely face stiff opposition from Russia and China, two veto-wielding permanent members of the Security Council who have argued it should be removed and want to resume arms sales to Iran. Russia has been more outspoken on the matter and has derided U.S. attempts to bring the matter up for discussion, criticizing President Donald Trump for withdrawing the U.S. from the nuclear deal in 2018 and re-imposing tough American sanctions on Iran.

Despite that opposition, which is almost certain to see the American effort fail, the U.S. officials said the administration is not planning at this point to raise the controversial matter of “snapback” – or restoring all U.N. sanctions against Iran that had been lifted or eased under the terms of the 2015 deal.

Although the administration pulled out from the deal two years ago, the U.S. maintains that it retains the right to invoke a sanctions snapback that the deal envisaged in the event of “significant non-performance” by Iran.

Foreign AffairsNetanyahu Confident US Will Support West Bank Annexation by dermmy(op): 8:49am On Apr 27, 2020
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was “confident” he would be able to annex large parts of the occupied West Bank this summer, with support from the US.

Speaking on Sunday to an online gathering of evangelical Christian supporters of Israel, Mr Netanyahu said US president Donald Trump’s Middle East plan envisioned turning over Israel’s dozens of settlements, as well as the strategic Jordan Valley, to Israeli control.

“A couple of months from now, I’m confident that that pledge will be honoured, that we will be able to celebrate another historic moment in the history of Zionism,” Mr Netanyahu said.

Israeli annexation of West Bank territory would be highly controversial, drawing widespread international condemnations and extinguishing any lingering hopes of establishing a viable independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.

The Palestinians, with wide international backing, seek the entire West Bank as part of an independent state.

They have already threatened to cancel existing peace agreements if Mr Netanyahu moves forward with his plan, while the European Union foreign policy chief said annexation would be a violation of international law and force the bloc to “act accordingly”. The UN’s Middle East envoy said such a step would “ignite” the region.

But Mr Netanyahu and his hard-line base are eager to move ahead while Mr Trump remains in office.

Annexation would be popular with Mr Trump’s evangelical base as he seeks to shore up support ahead of a difficult reelection battle.

Mr Netanyahu reached a power-sharing deal with his main rival, Benny Gantz, last week.

Although Mr Gantz, a former Israeli military chief, has given only lukewarm support for West Bank annexation, their coalition agreement allows Mr Netanyahu to present the plan to his cabinet and to parliament for fast-track approval.

Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Middle East war, and its settlements are now home to some 500,000 Israelis, in addition to over 200,000 Israelis living in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem.

After Mr Trump unveiled his Middle East plan in January, Mr Netanyahu pledged to begin annexing territory immediately.

But the Trump administration quickly delayed the plan, and the sides set up a joint committee to formulate a plan together.

Mr Netanyahu addressed a conference marking the 100th anniversary of the San Remo Conference, a post-First World War gathering in Italy that helped lay the foundations for Israel’s establishment in 1948.

But the cars I'm seeing in that picture you uploaded are cool cars though not all. You don't expect everyone in Iran to be rich, modern societies are class societies stratified along classes. Rich and poor, the haves and have nots. So you don't expect every car in every country to be of luxury.

Hotels in Tehran are full of Chinese, Indian and French Businessmen and Engineers(They are the lifeline of Iran). Iran makes low tech equipment rest are imported. I can literally post thousands of Industrial equipment, Technology being imported in Iran. I lived there for 2 years.

Well you don't want to answer my question. Everyone in nigeria are saying that securing the well being and comfort of lives is the first and foremost obligation of any govt. Why are the iran's govt. less concerned about its citizens. Instead they prefer to spend billions of dollar every year on military achievements while the economy and its populace are striving to survive on their own. Same iran govt. pleaded for a $5 billion loan earlier this month from IMF, is now launching a military satelite not even health or disaster satelite. Maybe if u re her citizen your will understand better.
Libyans enjoyed all these before U.S and NATO came to destroy the country we all know how Libya is today. That is what Iran is avoiding. All these goodies you've mentioned can only happen under a country that is functioning and free of U.S. aggression and war mongering.

Eborty what you don't understand is Iran will continue to develop those military capabilities as long as america continues its hostile policies towards the Islamic republic.

Dermmy, does this satelite has any significance to the current state of populace in iran....? If yes please enlighten me..!!!
If you think Iran's military programme is what is impoverishing the country then you are in a state of coma. Western sanctions is what is making life difficult for ordinary Iranians.

The question you should be asking is why does America hate Iran. Is it a crime to take back your country from America's grip through a revolution? Must every oil rich country become America's puppet? These are the questions you should be asking

Significance? Their military programme is the only thing preventing America from invading and they won't give it up. They are wise to have invested in their military over the years and they are reaping the benefits now and that benefit is called deterrence.

Hahahaha. During the Soviet-Afghan war America through the instrumentality of the CIA was busy chanelling funds and weapons to the "Mujahideens" Osama bin Laden was one of the fervent mujahideen leaders back then before turning into U.S enemy.

The Mujahideens later morphed into Al-Qaeda that hunt America for years. America thought they were harming the Soviets not knowing they were creating a monster that would hunt them and the world for decades. So we can categorically say America created Al-qaeda.

For you to have said America is the country that has not allowed jihadist to turned the world upside down only exposes your ignorance. You guys are not informed.

The picture below shows President Ronald Raegan hosting top Mujahideen leaders in the white house.

Did i say they were perfect NO bt they are still 10Times better than the nation's ure defending. Iran is not ur frnd, China is not ur frnd.

I don't know full details.of democratic regimes that America forced a regime change bt i know most are not recent and they are actions they have learnt from and trying to avoid repeating.

Im talking about America Now not 20 or 50 years ago. That's was a different dispensation with many things at play.
No America does not learn if they have learnt they wouldn't have invaded Iraq the blowback effect is still haunting them. They sacrificed 2trillions of dollar servicing the war in Iraq, killed over 600k innocent civilians, commited crimes against humanity and lost thousands of their troops. They didn't have a clear plan for post saddam Iraq sectarian conflict was the result of their foray into Iraq all in the name of oil and greed.

The Iraqi invasion was a plus for Iran, Iran seized the opportunity by cementing its influence in the country, what America is still finding difficult to deal with.

Their programme in Syria back fired again. Google "Timber sycamore" and educate yourself about Syria. Those guys America's CIA armed and trained to unseat Bashar Al-Assad later transmogrified into Islamic state. All in the name of oil.

They are about to make another mistake in Iran i pray they come back to their senses.

So Iraq attacked Kuwait, Uncle Sam had to step in to bring peace to the region abiy? Imagine hypocrisy. America was just interested in Oil which Saddam threatened to take. So don't give me that bull crap about bringing peace to the region. Why didn't they bring peace when Iraq attacked Iran? Rather they supported Saddam with Chemical weapons to kill Iranians because They refused America a share of their oil. See American Interest in the middle East is just about the oil the region has. America doesn't give a bleep if the Arabs kill themselves (Case study Yemen). Despite UN saying the crisis in Yemen is the worst humanitarian crisis in the World America keep selling weapons to the Terrorist Monarchy of Saud. BabyKillers. AMERICA is just there in the ME to cause instability to the region

If any of those nations where like America u won't even be free to type on this platform expressing ur mind. It cud even be worse like serving Persian camels. A warning is enough for the wise.

America as imperfect as they are have done u a huge favour.
America only has a system that works for her and her western friends not Africa, or other parts of the world. The same America that toppled the first democratic leader in Iran and replaced it with a corrupt dictator now wants a democratic regime in Iran? Isn't that funny?

If they had let Iran alone that country would have maintained her democracy. But oil and greed won't allow uncle sam behave responsibly.

Look at their policy of regime change in Africa, central and South America. They were busy unseating democratic regimes that refused to be their puppets in these countries. Look at the fate of Salvador Allende of Chile that was toppled in a coup and replaced with Augusto Rusto Pinochet a brutal and corrupt dictator.

They unseated democratically elected Jacobo Arbenz Guzman of Guatemala because he expropriated the Agricultural sector that was being exploited by U.S companies and gave it back to the people. I don't have to discuss Africa here you should know that if you are current. I can write a whole book on U.S policy of regime change which is undemocratic and antithetical to what uncle Sam preaches.

Stop swallowing western propaganda and read books.

Really? Well Iran is not out there to provoke or bully any country deterrence is all they need and they've achieved that. And the whole world is already in shambles as a result of U.S. aggression and warmongering or do you want U.S. to start wiping out every country with nuclear bomb before you believe the whole world is already in shambles under U.S. evil leadership.

Ever since then terror has became their hubby, and also wiping Isreal from the map was their Destinyed legacy till date. Now i wonder, why some individuals are so misleaded and confuse in glamouring this particular islamic nation.
Hear this since WW2, Israel has assassinated more people and carried out terror act than any other country in western world. Stop swallowing western propaganda if you call Iran a state sponsor of terror where do you put Israel, America and its western thugs and their arab cohort Saudi Arabia and FYI America and Israel carried out terror attacks in Iran during the Mossadegh era and they are still doing it to this day.

If you have problem with Iran proxies then I'm glad to tell you that's one of the best decision Iran has made in contemporary times, Iran has the ability to wage war on multiple fronts with those guys. You guys should get good books and read if you really want to be current.

You sounded as if Iran has done a very great thing by launching a satellite into space. In case you don't know, Iran's scientific exploit is based on borrowed technical expertise from China and Russia. They are the brains behind this success.

By no means Iran can match America in any capacity. So many hidden scientific breakthroughs in the kitty of the Americans!

And let me quickly remind, Nigeria has her own satellite in space too. So, it's never a big deal undecided
Stop displaying your ignorance Nigeria does not have a military satellite. The ones we operate are used for geographical purposes e.g mapping, weather forcast and to some extent communication . What Iran just launched is a military satellite that gives her ability to gather intelligence and boost the precision of her missiles, a move that is making America uncomfortable now.

U.S. secretary of state Mike Pompeo has complained about it and he is trying to lobby the UN to take action. You are the one thinking it's never a big deal Iran now has the power to spy on any country from the outer space and the good news is the outer space does not belong to any country under the international laws of the outer space any country is free to put anything up there except weapons of mass destruction.
