Few Americans realize how disastrous the Iran nuclear deal really is. You can find out the full extent of the damage it did, and could still do in the future if these Europeans prevail, in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran.
Remember also that Iran’s Rouhani said in 2018: “Iran will not violate the nuclear deal, but if the United States withdraws from the deal, they will surely regret it. Our response will be stronger than what they imagine and they would see that within a week.”
Germany, France and Britain are trying to shore up a world order that is coming to an end. They persist in the comforting fiction that the Islamic Republic of Iran will abide by the JCPOA and other international agreements, and not seek to initiate hostilities with Israel or any other nation. Ultimately, however, the Europeans’ eye is on the bottom line. They are selling the Iranians the rope that the mullahs will use to hang them.
“Germany, France and Britain reject ‘snapback’ of Iran sanctions,” by Elad Benari, Israel National News, August 21, 2020:
Germany, France and Britain announced on Thursday that they reject the US initiative to initiate a “snapback” of the UN sanctions on Iran.
“France, Germany and the United Kingdom note that the US ceased to be a participant to the JCPoA following their withdrawal from the deal on May 8, 2018,” the foreign ministers of the three countries said in a joint statement, referring to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, the official name of which is the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
“Our position regarding the effectiveness of the US notification pursuant to resolution 2231 has consequently been very clearly expressed to the Presidency and all UNSC Members. We cannot therefore support this action which is incompatible with our current efforts to support the JCPOA,” they added.
France, Germany and the United Kingdom “are committed to preserving the processes and institutions which constitute the foundation of multilateralism. We remain guided by the objective of upholding the authority and integrity of the United Nations Security Council. We call on all UNSC members to refrain from any action that would only deepen divisions in the Security Council or that would have serious adverse consequences on its work,” the statement said.
The three foreign ministers said that their countries “remain committed to the JCPoA despite the significant challenges caused by US withdrawal. We believe that we should address the current issue of systematic Iranian non-compliance with its JCPoA obligations through dialogue between JCPoA participants, including through the Joint Commission and use of the Dispute Resolution Mechanism. In order to preserve the agreement, we urge Iran to reverse all measures inconsistent with its nuclear commitments and return to full compliance without delay.”…
Trump’s move to activate the “snapback” comes after the UN Security Council rejected the US resolution to extend the arms embargo on Iran, which is due to expire in October.
Only two of the Council’s 15 members voted in favor of the US resolution.

boris is a naive fool–foreign office hates uk?
Wellington says
Just one more example of how pathetic much of Western Europe has become.
curuous george says
True.
Maybe we should “follow the money,” especially with France & Germany?
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Let’s see, Germany, France, and the UK are all members of NATO.
Are they with the United States – or are they truly against us vis-à-vis Iran?
Should we defend them if they are, say, attacked by Iran?
Wellington says
Yes, James, but only if we get to obliterate the entire Iranian infrastructure.
But I don’t think Iran will attack in military mode. Why should it since Western European nations are caving like a house of cards before the Islamic world?
As an example, remember when David Cameron when PM said they he looked forward to the day when London would be the center of Islamic finance in the West? QED.
James Lincoln says
Agree, Wellington.
Thanks much for your reply…

Sam says
The Islamic financial system is the best system the world has seen, it’s superior to all other systems, it’s fair and just.
Remember, one of the few decent people in your area , called Jesus Christ called you the synagogue of Satan people? Remember Jesus?… I’m sure that if he is a live now in another realm, he is spitting on you and impatiently waiting to come to place %99.99 of you in the deep fire forever?
Wellington says
Sam: There is very little fair or just about anything Islamic.
Charging interest on loans is not per se unethical. People have to pay for goods. Money is one form of goods and so why not have to pay for money that you borrow? Of course, some interest is exorbitant and thus unfair but then many other goods have exorbitant prices too. When this occurs, walk away and find a less expensive good or product that you are seeking.
And, btw, thanks for the lovely thought about Jesus. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
FYI says
@Sam
You seem to actually respect Jesus Christ:then in that case maybe you should read the Gospel yourself!
You said before about the billionaires and how unfair it is and all the homeless etc{I agree}
Then maybe you might like to read:
Luke 16:19-34 The parable of the Rich man and Lazarus
Luke 6:24-25
Matthew 19:16-30 The Rich young man
Jesus Christ condemns the selfish greedy rich who are indifferent to the poor.It is really the fact that the rich man is greedy and couldn’t care less about the plight of the poor man that will condemn him.
And who is Lazarus but the impoverished starving beggar,the hungry homeless.
gravenimage says
The Islamic financial system is based on sleight-of-hand at best–hidden interest–and at worst on Jizya, slavery, tribute, and kidnapping and ransom.
And note that “Sam” here considers reasonable interest to be satanic, but has never said *anything* critical of slavery and sex slavery. *Very* telling.
gravenimage says
And how do you like “Sam” here using a smiley face talking about hell? And he still claims that he is not Muslim. Doesn’t he realize this claim is less plausible all the time?
Sam says
Funny and stupid.
The USA is already hated by %99 of the world, few countries “pretend”to agree with this filthy Zionist country the USA , these countries are the massively rich and huge , the Dominican republic haha … and of course the criminal thrive killer entity called Israel… other than that, all people of this universe hate America and are happy to know that this empire is more diving to a sh****t hole where it belongs.
Wellington says
99%? Gee, Sam, then why is America the country that so many people want to immigrate to?
Sam, you are the wrong side of history and the wrong side of most everything. You won’t get this at all, but stating the truth about a person is sometimes important. Like you.

Maybe the foolish leaders of these countries think Biden is going to win the November election in the USA.
They are not foolish for thinking Biden may win, but foolish for thinking the JCPoA will prevent or delay Iran from getting nukes.
owensgate says
Funny thing about negotiating and Nukes. The only outcome admissible is YOU WILL NOT HAVE ONE. In “negotiation”, about Nukes, the outcomes can only be “How many, and what yield”.
Sam says
Iran already has the knowledge to build atomic bombs within a day, but they have human decency and morality that stops them from building these weapons like the Christian and the Jewish Zionist world …
Personally, and I don’t belong to any of the Semitic religions, I wish that Iran will develop and build it’s nuclear weapons to defend itself from the Christian Jewish world of hyenas who have been murdering humans to steal their lands and natural resources for 100s of years …
Hiroshima and Nagasaki know of your decency?
Keys says
“Hiroshima and Nagasaki know of your decency”
Horrible and hellish as war always is, but without the bombing of those two cities Japan would have had millions of casualties instead of tens of thousands, and there would have been significantly more damage to Japanese infrastructure had the Americans invaded the mainland.
Within a couple of decades Japan became one of the largest, thriving economies in the world as a free nation. The Americans stole no land or natural resources from the country that attacked them on December 7,1941.
On the other hand, Sam, maybe you are not familiar enough about the history of Islam stealing land and resources, destroying cultures, imposing Islam and Sharia, taking slaves, and exterminating people as they conquer in the name of Allah and calling itself a religion of peace.
Read Robert Spencer’s “The History of Jihad” and get informed so you have some balance in your views
Wellington says
+1. Of course, Keys, as I know you already know, Sam won’t get any of this.
Sam, in microcosm, illustrates something very important, i.e., the more a Muslim HONESTLY defends their religion the more they reveal just how rotten and hate-filled Islam truly is.
Of course, Muzzies who dishonestly (or ignorantly) defend their religion, for example saying to Christians that Islam honors Jesus too (pure kitman), only hide where the truth really lies about Mo’s warped creed.
Sure wish more kuffaars (kafirs) would get this. Certainly hope this is happening. Better be because what’s left of freedom in the West, now assaulted by two, not one, totalitarian ideologies—Islam and Western Leftism—depends upon the recognition that two foolish totalitarian belief systems are “champing at the bit” to eradicate the West.
N.B., Joe Biden would miss all of what I just wrote, as most certainly Pope Francis, Trudeau, Macron, Merkel and, sadly I have to say, BoJo too. The West is drifting. Bad guys profit from this—the Chinese thugs who run that, quite frankly, parasitic nation, the forever clueless Russians, and now within the West itself plenty of mediocrities or worse.
Keys says
Thanks for your comment, Wellington.
And thank you for your dedicated and intelligent postings here at JW. All the best to you and yours.
gravenimage says
Good posts, Keys and Wellington..
Of course, “Sam” has no problem with Fascism–any more than with Iran vowing to “wipe Israel off the map”.
andrew mckendrick says
If Trump wins in November ,hopefully with a landslide ,attitudes to Iran by the Europeans will change very swiftly.
CogitoErgoSum says
There will never be any peace with Iran as long as its government is based upon Islam. The god of Islam wants everyone either submitting to Islam or dead. Muslims are to fight to make this happen. They are to make you submit to Islam or KILL YOU. Don’t give them any help in doing this. Just read the damn book the Muslims are reading and understand that they believe what it says and WILL do what it says.
Wellington says
If one had to sum up Islam in one paragraph, that person would be hard pressed, CES, to best your summary here

Adolf Hitler told the World exactly what he would do, years before he did it, and the World slept until he’d done it. The Musulman’s koran tells the World what they are doing, and the World is AIDING them. There is ANOTHER Book that tells the World EXACTLY what’s coming, and the World pays attention not. Well, Boy Howdy, is the World ever in for shock and awe.

Appeasement of evil never works.
Rueben Singh says
The west is weak. They should know that appeasement does not work.
French troops were murdered in Lebanon by Iranian terrorists in the 80’s.
A few tons of Ammonium Nitrate was found in London.
Our leaders are weak and rotten to the core.

You are a Singh haha … Brown or black nose?
What k8nd of brain do you have, an Israeli or British one?
Keys says
Sam, if you are being paid to troll Jihad Watch, you should have your salary cut because you are not helping your cause with your insulting comments.

@Keys
“Brown or black nose”
wow.
Sam appears to be racist as well as antisemitic and antichristian.
His projective rantings are positively Schizoid.
He’ll be talking about Jewish noses next….
Keys says
FYI –
I think you are right about Sam.
50 shades of white morph into brown; and 50 shades of brown morph into black. I wonder what shade Sam’s nose is ?
Probably not the same as Francis Buk’s, but there sure is a difference in their heads and hearts !
gravenimage says
Keys and FYI, you are right–like most Muslim apologists, “Sam” here is not doing his cause any good at all.
gravenimage says
I see that “Sam” here is sneering at Sikhs. I have never actually seen anyone do that save for Muslims.
