* The US broke the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA - an international legal agreement ratified by the United Nations Security Council) over a year ago, when the Trump administration unilaterally withdrew.
* Even the Obama administration which negotiated and signed the Iran nuclear agreement violated it.
* Even the Obama administration which negotiated and signed the Iran nuclear agreement violated it.
* The UN international nuclear agency (IAEA) consistently reported Iran in full
compliance with the agreement.
* Other signatories have failed to fully honour it by not countering the effects of the unilateral
US economic sanctions against Iran.
* Iran has been very patient and transparent about its intentions all along,
and has given deadlines for the other signatories (especially UK, France,
Germany) to bring effective relief from US sanctions.
* Iran recently exceeded the stockpiled
amounts of nuclear materials because US sanctions prevented its export!
* Iran’s uranium enrichment to higher levels is for their legal peaceful
nuclear programme, still way below the 90% needed for nuclear weapons.
* Iran can reverse these changes when the other signatories honour their
commitments to relieve US sanctions.
* Iran has no nuclear weapons or nuclear weapons programme.
Israel has nuclear weapons!
* Iran, unlike Israel, has signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty and is under
stringent international inspections.
* Iran has consistently renounced nuclear weapons, and called for a Nuclear
Weapons Free Middle East.
* Iran has conventional weapons for its legitimate self-defense
and deterrence against long-threatened attacks.
* If attacked, Iran has had decades to prepare for asymmetrical warfare, and
casualties would not be limited to Iran.
* The US must end its unilateral sanctions, economic warfare and
military provocations and threats against Iran which are illegal under the UN
Charter and international law.
* The other signatories to the JCPOA must act to effectively stop the illegal
US sanctions, crimes against humanity.
* Iran deserves empathy and respect as the victim in this situation, and for
showing patience and restraint.
* Beware of dishonest news stories and simplistic headlines
pushing an anti-Iran bias and lies by those promoting conflict.
* Time for diplomacy and peaceful relations instead of economic bullying and
thuggery. No one will win a war against Iran!
