The US, UK, France and Germany have announced new sanctions on Iran, formally accusing it of sending ballistic missiles to Russia for the first time after weeks of warnings. They plan to sanction the aviation sector.

    This is just nonsense, i am sorry. 15 years is a long time. The goal was to establish diplomatic ties with Iran again. Instead the US pushed for military hostility. Also it is cynical to demand Iran to have no missiles while the US is stationing missiles in bases and ships in the region.

      I can agree that it’s debatable whether it was a good idea, but how is it ‘nonsense’ that the fact that sunset clause makes the deal very awkward? Why do you think the Iranians wanted it in, if not for the freedom to just develop nukes later?

      Also the Iranian regime think they have a good shot at going to paradise because they allow men to rape their child brides, amongst other horrific shit. I can see the case we don’t want these kind of people with the power of nuclear weapons.
