Iran should not take up the FULL ENERGY of the Biden Presidency, in the manner of Trump especially in the critical years of 2018/2019 when he should have fully geared up for a second term, but instead unceremoniously vented energy against Iran, egged on by fascist right-wing messianic Likudnik Netanyahu, the Godfather of Jared.
False flag drone attacks, false flag tanker attacks, terrorism inside Iran courtesy of MEK, Iranian Generals on diplomatic missions to Iraq to negotiate with the Saudis assassinated, and the Sunni ISIS let loose which itself claimed terrorist attacks against Iranian military parades in the South, and of course PJAK of the Kurds attacking border installations and personnel.
The President of the USA bitched for Netanyahu, and his numerous election bids in Israel, and provide distraction and cover for his corruption charges, with money from Adelson.
According to the IMF since 2016, measured by PPP, the USA became the 2nd largest economy (China $31 trillion, USA $21 trillion--2021). This is very very consequential, not in the sense that China is a threat or it was in any way China's fault, but that it is the duty of SERIOUS HARDHEADED American leaders to restructure the American economy so that it performs better, and the right economic formula's are created to get the USA out of its economic quagmire, high unemployment, underperforming industries, small businesses collapsing, rising debt, hyperinflation around the corner, economic collapse around the corner......infrastructure, education, healthcare and so much more that has been neglected that matter to the common man....and the COVID-19 Pandemic from which 500,000 Americans have died, and 28 million infected. The worst affected country in the world.
The time to blame others for American problems has gone.
The CIA installed the Iranians Mullahs in power in 1979, as part of the 'Arch of Crisis', 'Clash of Civilisation' policy from the Rothschilds of LONDON, ENUNCIATED through Bernard Lewis at Princeton University. The purpose was to attack the Soviet UNION with its 20% Muslim population (payback for Vietnam) ......I would require hours upon hours to list the crimes of the barbaric Medival CIA mullahs have inflicted on the good Iranian people.
After the horrors of 42 years of CIA Mullah Iran, the USA should not inflict further torture and degradation on the good Iranian people.
The USA should go back to the JCPOA IMMEDIATELY, in the same manner, Trump quixotically left it. It is a combined International Treaty agreed by significant world powers and based on multilateralism, not American exceptionalism.
It was the laborious product of John Kerry and his team, in what was one of the longest drawn-out negotiation in American diplomatic history (so it wasn't lightly entered into).
But quixotic narcissistic Trump, with a deep racist hatred for Barack Hussein Obama, 'The MUSLIM' WAS going to go against it simply because it was seen as one of his major international successes.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR: whilst the mullahs never wanted nuclear power (Its was the Shah's dream, egged on by the USA since 1974)
When the Iranian Supreme Leader makes a Fatwa and declares publicly REPEATEDLY that Nuclear weapons are unIslamic to his hardcore domestic followers, we really should believe him. Nuclear weapons are not something the Medival Mullahs can comprehend in their world view. When CIA Saddam started using Chemical weapons supplied by the USA, from 1984 against Iranian troops in the Iran/Iraq war, Ayatollah Khomeini stated that Chemical weapons use were unIslamic, and despite 4 further years of a gruelling war, mullah Iran did not use any Chemicals against Saddam's soldiers.
However the Israeli 'cry wolf' scenario has created paranoia in the Greater Middle East and as a result, many states are now acquiring nuclear power clandestinely, and legitimately.
Egypt is acquiring a vast nuclear plant at $25 billion being built by the Russians.
Turkey is acquiring nuclear plants, and they may even have a 'surge program.'
Saudi Arabia wants to buy nuke bombs from certain powers, or the means to build nuke bombs from certain powers.
And so on, and so on, and so on. THE ISRAELI FAKE CRY WOLF SCENARIO OVER IRAN.......is creating CURIOSITY AND FATEFUL CONSEQUENTIAL ACTION IN THAT DIRECTION IN REALITY IN THE GREATER MIDDLE EAST.........'Well if the mullahs are going for nuke bombs as the USA/Israel accuse, then we should have nuke bombs toooo'
In 2003 the Mullahs were elated that the USA had finally toppled CIA Saddam.
The USA reciprocated by inviting elite Iranian Quds forces into Iraq, to guard the holy Shia sites in Najaf and Karbela, and give reassurance to the 65% Iraqi Shia majority.
It was in 2003 that the mullahs offered a Grand Bargain to the USA covering everything, including much of what the USA wants now.
But Bush II in 2003 was still intoxicated with the Pentagon Blitzkrieg plan of 7 countries in 5 years, including Iran. A historic opportunity lost.
Iran in good faith invited IAEA inspections of a very intrusive nature, of go any where and see everything snap inspection (nothing to hide in the first place), running for 18 years the longest in IAEA history.
Since that time of 2003, USA leaders have made dire threats against Iran, dire threats of war, simultaneously while IAEA inspections were going on, terrorism inside Iran, assassinations and sanctions.
Uncivilised illegal barbaric behaviour against Iran.
Why should Iran cooperate with IAEA inspections if ALL they get back in return is more threats and real terrorism inside Iran? What is the benefit? What is the rationale?
Since 2003, Iran has built closer relations with Russia and China. The compulsion to cooperate with Washington is much less than it was in 2003.

Why Is Biden Creating Himself An Iran Quagmire?
Since he came to power President Joe Biden has done nothing to revive the nuclear agreement with Iran. The JCPOA was breached by the U.S. in 2018 when then-President Trump left the deal and renewed a 'maximum pressure' sanction campaign against Iran. For over a year Iran stuck to its commitment under the deal. It then began to gradually exceed some of the technical limits of the deal. Those steps were legal under the JCPOA because the U.S. had left the deal. All of them are reversible.
In response to the murder by Israel of Iran's top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh the conservative parliament passed a law that compels the moderate government under the Iranian President Rohani to further reduce its adherence to the JCPOA deal. As part of this, the Iranian government will soon reduce the ability of the international inspectors from the IAEA to observe parts of its civilian nuclear program. As the Ambassador of Iran to the UN announced:
Gharibabadi @Gharibabadi - 16:11 UTC · Feb 15, 2021Act of Parliament will be executed on time (23 Feb) and the IAEA has been informed today to ensure the smooth transition to a new course in due time. After all, goodwill brings about goodwill!
1. The Biden administration demands that Iran fully come back under the restrictions of the deal (whilst the USA under Trump carried out unrestricted sanctions--The USA CAN ignore the JCPOA deal carte blanc but Iran cannot),
2. to agree to an extension of some restriction under the deal
3. and to agree to talks about its missile programs (nothing to do with JCPOA)
4. and its role in the Middle East (Nothing to do with JCPOA).
Only after that, says the Biden administration, would the U.S. remove some of its sanctions.
The demands are nonsense and have absolutely no chance of being fulfilled.
It is the U.S. that is in breach of the deal. Biden could simply reenter it by lifting the sanctions Trump imposed. Iran had promised that it would follow through by coming back into the technical limits of the deal. But instead of agreeing to that the Biden administration is trying to create a more complicated process by coordinating its negotiation positions with Saudi Arabia, Israel and other opponents of the deal:
Israel’s envoy to the United States suggested Tuesday that Israel may not consult with the new administration on its steps to reenter [JCPOA].Biden has pledged to engage with allies and partners, including Israel, before making any moves to join the deal. But Reuters reports that some Israeli officials believe consulting with the Biden administration could backfire for Israel “by falsely signaling its consent for any new deal that it still opposes.”
During informal talks held by the Trump administration with Iran the U.S. had made similar demands as Biden is now making. Iran has rejected all of them.
Iran's missile force, built independently, is a deterrence against potential aggressors in its region.
Since the Iranian revolution 43 years ago the country has been under various weapon embargoes. Its airforce has therefore no modern fighter jets. The Arab states in the Gulf Cooperation Council on the western side of the Persian Gulf have in total some 450 modern fighter jets in between them. Additionally the U.S. is keeping at times a hundred or more of its own fighter jets in the region.
Iran has little ability to defend itself from a concerted bombing campaign. The only thing it can do is to threaten a response by extensive missile strikes on regional targets. Its missile force is thus a sheer necessity. To suggest that Iran should limit its missile force is a demand that would leave the country defenseless. (AND INDICATES that Washington wishes to attack Iran some time in the future.... per 7 countries in 5 years blitzkrieg plan from the Pentagon in the late 1990's)
A further prolonging of the time limits for restrictions under the JCPOA deal is likewise not agreeable. The JCPOA was negotiated in a long process during which both sides made concessions. That the U.S. is now coming back to unilaterally demand longer restrictions without offering anything new in return is unreasonable.
Iran will not agree to any negotiation with the Biden regime unless the U.S. returns to the deal first. Its Supreme Leader has spoken:
Khamenei.ir @khamenei_ir - 8:42 UTC · Feb 17, 2021About the #JCPOA, promises were made by the other side. I am saying one thing: We’ve heard many promises which were broken & contradicted in practice. Mere words don't help. This time only action! Action! If the Islamic Republic sees action from the other side, it will act too.
In May 2021 Iran will elect a new president. The moderate Rouhani has failed to revive the Iranian economy. Rouhani negotiated and agreed to the JCPOA but was then betrayed by the U.S. with new devastating sanctions which brought more economic pressure. The conservatives in Iran have already won the 2020 parliament elections. (Note: The 'moderates' in Iran are neoliberals. The more hard line 'conservatives' are social-democrats.) The conservatives will likely win the presidency. Currently the former 'hardline' president of Iran Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, pictured below, has the highest voter approval of all potential candidates. Should the religious authorities allow him to run he is likely to win. U.S. diplomacy with Iran will then become even more difficult.

It is hard to understand what the Biden administration is expecting to win by slow walking a return to the JCPOA.
- It practically guarantees that the Iranian side will become more hardline.
- Keeping up the sanctions also guarantees that Iran will make new moves to counter those. It has reliable proxies in the region and there are many U.S. aligned targets and interests that can be hit. If Iran can not export oil because of U.S. sanctions why should it tolerate that Saudi Arabia can continue to export?
- Without the U.S. rejoining the JCPOA Iran has all incentives to further increase its stockpile of enriched Uranium and to further increase its enrichment level. U.S. nuclear submarines run on 60% enriched Uranium. Why should Iran not build similar boats and enrich its stockpile to the necessary level? While Iran does not want nuclear weapons it could, like Japan, create and stockpile all the necessary ingredients. The time frame needed to become a nuclear weapon state would then be down to a weekend's project.
- There is no chance to further increase the pressure on Iran without co-operation from Moscow and Beijing. While the Biden administration has talked with both on Iran there is no sign that they would (again) agree to limit their trade with Iran. This especially as Washington has declared itself to be hostile to both of them.
- There is no reasonable way the U.S. can attack Iran or its nuclear program without risking intense damage to its own forces and to its allies in the region. Any attack would likely escalate into a wider war. Israel, a nuclear weapon state which is currently expanding its stockpile, would get involved and Iran's ally in Lebanon, Hizbullah, would use its missile force to destroy the economy of the Zionist entity.
The above has all been well known for months. By not immediately reentering the deal the Biden administration is committing diplomatic suicide as has been laid out by many commentators.
The Biden administration could have had an easy early foreign policy win by simply ending the sanctions on Iran and by returning to the JCPOA. Instead it is now creating a quagmire for itself that will consume most of its foreign policy energy.
It is beyond me why it is doing so.
