\"Iran:<\/p>\n

As the regime in Tehran continues its malign activities and nuclear extortion, the western governments should adopt a firm policy to prevent the regime from further destabilizing the world.<\/p>\n

In recent remarks to Western media, Iran\u2019s ambassador to the United Nations underscored the fact that the regime\u2019s parliament has set February 21 as a deadline for the U.S. Government to once again make the US a party to the nuclear deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have said time and again that if the U.S. decides to go back to its international commitments and lift all the illegal sanctions against Iran, we will go back to the full implementation of [the deal],\u201d he said, referring to earlier statements from the likes of Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zarif has spent roughly two weeks outlining plans whereby the regime would resume compliance with the various provisions of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that it has \u201cpublicly\u201d violated since 2018. Those violations include the acquisition of larger stockpiles of nuclear material and the resumption of 20 percent enrichment of uranium. Even more recently, Tehran informed the International Atomic Energy Agency of plans to begin work on the production of uranium metal, which is an essential component in the core of a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

These violations have persisted for more than two years despite the fact that the five other signatories of the JCPOA \u2013 the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, and China \u2013 remained steadfastly committed to it while also offering the Iranian regime a high degree of leeway.<\/p>\n

When Tehran formally abandoned compliance with all of the agreement\u2019s restrictions at the beginning of 2020, the three European signatories technically triggered a dispute resolution mechanism that could have led to the automatic re-imposition of the UN sanctions that were suspended under the deal. But soon thereafter, the EU\u2019s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell signaled that the EU would be willing to draw out the process indefinitely, thus continue appeasing the regime in Tehran despite its violation of the JCPOA.<\/p>\n
