The United Nations calls on Washington to lift the restrictions imposed on Iranian diplomats

Baghdad / Obelisk: The United Nations General Assembly in a resolution called on Wednesday, the United States, which hosts the headquarters of the United Nations, to lift the restrictions imposed on Iranian diplomats, also condemning Washington not to grant visas to Russian diplomats.

Since last summer, Iranian diplomats have been subject to restrictions imposed by Washington on their movements when they visit the United States, and they are largely obligated to remain in the area surrounding the United Nations headquarters in New York, the Iranian mission headquarters or the ambassador's house.

The UN resolution proposed by Cyprus on behalf of Bulgaria, Canada, Costa Rica and Ivory Coast was unanimously approved without the need to put it to a vote.

Unlike Security Council resolutions, General Assembly resolutions are not binding but have political influence.

Diplomats reported that the resolution does not mention specific countries by name, but it mainly refers to restrictions imposed on Iran in addition to the refusal to grant visas to the Russian delegation during the General Assembly meeting last September.

The resolution said that the United Nations "urges the host country to remove all remaining travel restrictions imposed on the personnel of some missions."

He added that the United Nations "takes seriously" travel restrictions and complaints by "two missions" that they say are being held back from carrying out their work.

New US Sanctions On Iran

On December 20, 2019

 

 

The Independent / US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo launched an attack on the Iranian regime, stressing the necessity of the departure of "Ayatollah and his gang," according to him, and announcing new sanctions against Tehran.

 

At a press conference on human rights and the Iranian regime, broadcast by the State Department's website, Pompeo said that the Iranian regime "had not respected its people for 40 years", without naming the described "ayatollah", which usually refers to the Shiite jurist regime.

Pompeo announced that sanctions had been imposed on two Iranian judges, who handed down sentences against a number of "human rights defenders and journalists", in addition to preventing others from obtaining a visa to enter the United States.

The US Secretary of State reiterated his country's accusation of the Iranian authorities of killing about a thousand people in the protests that took place in the country weeks ago, stressing the continued receipt of testimonies from citizens regarding the repression.

Tehran responds

The Iranian State Department described US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as a "mouthpiece of arrogance, deception and abuse," saying that US foreign policy was "futile and delusional."

The ministry spokesman, Abbas Moussaoui, said that "such methods will not help them," stressing that Pompeo "does not rise to the level of any foreign minister in the world and does not have a place in this arena."

He added that "foreign ministers usually call for peace, reconciliation, dialogue and respect, while Mr. Pompeo is a trumpet of arrogance, deception, insult and offense."

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said that if Iran's interests in the nuclear agreement with world powers are not achieved, Iran may decide to withdraw.

"The Iranians are entering the negotiations with difficulty, but they are committed to any agreement they reach," said Rouhani, who is visiting Tokyo for talks with the Japanese prime minister .

Rouhani warned that "if Iran's interests are not met within the framework of the nuclear agreement, it is natural that our next decision may not be the continuation of our obligations."

The Iranian president said, "Our patience will not last, as our commitments will not benefit anything, and our next decision may be to end these obligations."

Meanwhile, European powers have warned Iran against withdrawing from the agreement, and Germany, Britain and France have stressed that they will activate the "trigger mechanism" that requires the rapid return of international sanctions if Tehran ends its nuclear obligations.

In turn, Rouhani, who was speaking to a group of Japanese executives, confirmed that "we have no problem discussing our issues with the Americans, but they must return from the wrong path they went through in the past year and a half ago."

Referring to Japan's attempt to mediate between Iran and the United States, Rouhani said while in Japan that Iran was ready to negotiate.

Rouhani said yesterday after his meeting with Shinzo Abe, saying: "We do not reject any negotiations or an agreement that is in our national interest."

But Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has repeatedly stated that no one should negotiate with the United States.

Iran announced today, Monday, the suspension of technical negotiations in the nuclear agreement, pending the lifting of the embargo, and the complete abolition of sanctions.

Salehi said, after announcing the operation of the secondary circuit of the Arak nuclear reactor, that " Iran announced its position and determined it permanently and irreversibly, and its position regarding negotiations is that it will not negotiate the technical part of the nuclear agreement and will not negotiate unless the sanctions are completely abolished."

 

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization in Iran stressed that "if Europe resorted to the dispute settlement mechanism, it would eliminate the nuclear agreement, which is contrary to what it declares," adding that "Europe wants to maintain the nuclear agreement, but does it have the ability to stand before America? ".

In May 2018, the United States announced a unilateral withdrawal from the agreement signed in 2015 between Iran and the five permanent Security Council members in addition to Germany , and the resumption of tough sanctions against Iran.

Later, Tehran announced the reduction of its obligations under the nuclear agreement because of what it considered a failure by European countries to provide an effective mechanism for financial and commercial dealings with Iran to avoid US sanctions.

Video: Iranian Boats Surrounded An American Aircraft Carrier

On December 29, 2019

 

 

(The Independent) .. A few days ago, commercial photos taken by a commercial satellite showed that several small objects were sailing near the US aircraft carrier "USS Abraham Lincoln" while crossing the Strait of Hormuz, which raised several questions, and finally prompted the Pentagon to confess.

 

The US Navy, in response to a question sent to it by The War Zone, acknowledged, via e-mail, that "these bodies are 18 warships from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, who were provoking the aircraft carrier and the ships accompanying it, while crossing the strait."

A report of the American website said, "This scene indicates the great risks that every transit in the region creates, and the possibility of serious friction causing the explosion of conditions in the region."

He also described "what Tehran is doing as a" successful challenge "to symbolize US military hegemony, despite the Pentagon's attempt to downplay the importance of what is going on."

Most of the Iranian boats were traveling regularly behind the aircraft carrier, which was accompanied by the destroyer "USS Faragot", which was at the front, and the cruiser "USS Light Gulf", at the rear.

The report notes that "the Iranian Revolutionary Guard navy possesses a wide range of speed boats and other small warships, some of which are equipped with anti-ship missiles, as well as semi-submarines capable of carrying mines and torpedoes."

The United States had accused the Iranian Revolutionary Guard of using some of its small boats to launch a number of attacks on commercial oil tankers earlier this year.

Anyone else beginning to understand why there is so much propaganda being spread surrounding these airstrikes. There are a lot of people in powerful places that the Iranians likely have dirt on.

Of course, this is the chance that the Iranians are bluffing but I’m not sure why they would when it does nothing to hurt the Trump Administration.
