“The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has warned that time is running out to revive the Iran nuclear deal as Tehran ups its uranium enrichment program and threatens to reduce access for inspectors. Speaking to Reuters on Monday, Rafael Grossi contended that the world had entered ‘a new reality’ with Iran hollowing out the remains of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a deal made to restrict Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.”
The bogus warning by Grossi rests on an assumption of Iran’s honesty; he assumes that the Islamic Republic can be trusted to scale back its nuclear buildup, despite its ruthless ambitions for regional and global power.
The UK, France and Germany have been naively lecturing Iran to scale back its enrichment program, which it is escalating to 20%, “and return to the limits agreed in the JCPOA.”
Joe Biden has already committed to reinstating the nuclear deal, which served to aid Iran’s expansion of its global adventurism, while leaving Israel, which is the country most threatened by Iran, out of talks.
February 21 is the deadline to reverse all sanctions and re-engage the nuke deal.
“Tehran said European powers failed to protect it from the US and chose to renege on their side of the deal. “
While accusing Trump and the EU, Iran was already exposed for lying about holding up its own end of the nuclear deal. Iran actually admitted to breaching the deal twice, in June 2019 and again in November 2020.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was virtually ignored when he presented extensive evidence in 2018 that the Iran deal was based on lies.
Re-engagement of the nuclear deal and ending US sanctions is a grave global threat.
“Only weeks left to save Iran nuclear deal, says IAEA chief,” RT, January 11, 2020:
The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has warned that time is running out to revive the Iran nuclear deal as Tehran ups its uranium enrichment program and threatens to reduce access for inspectors.
Speaking to Reuters on Monday, Rafael Grossi contended that the world had entered “a new reality” with Iran hollowing out the remains of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a deal made to restrict Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
Grossi said that Iran was progressing “quite rapidly” towards 20 percent enrichment and noted Tehran’s threat to reduce access for international nuclear facility inspectors.
“It is clear that we don’t have many months ahead of us. We have rather weeks,” he asserted.
Grossi said that the IAEA was not originally sure whether Tehran’s announcement about upping its uranium enrichment program was just rhetoric or a concrete plan of action.
Last Monday, Tehran said it had started enriching uranium to 20 percent, drifting further away from the parameters of the nuclear deal.
The new figure is higher than the 3.67 percent level agreed in the 2015 pact, but still far below the 90 percent level that is considered weapons-grade.
“There will have to be a clear understanding on how the initial terms and provisions of the JCPOA are going to be re-complied with,” Grossi said.
Iran has also been keen to put a time limit on negotiations. On January 9, an Iranian spokesperson said the incoming Biden administration, which takes office on January 20, will have until February 21 to reverse sanctions.
Outgoing President Donald Trump pulled the US unilaterally out of the JCPOA in 2018….

This guy, Grossi, is a deceiving idiot. In fact, what the euphemism is there even an “International Atomic Energy Agency” to begin with? The whole “UN” is unspeakably evil, but I digress. You don’t make “Deals” about Nukes unless you are dealing “how many”, and “what yield”. No, what you do, is state an ultimatum: YOU WILL NOT HAVE ONE! Now, how easy was that.
Infidel says
But he’s not the one who negotiated that deal: John Kerry was. I do think that Rafael Grossi is a lot more sensible than Mohammed el Baredai, who was around during the Iraq war

How can these people be so naive, ignorant, self deceiving and be in the positions they are? They are as out of sink as US is now and just as bumbly. I truly do not understand. If Israel and the Guld can see, what is the brain block with these dodos. You can see the difference from training out of a book vs real life encounters.Books and education have their place but not in these matters. I feel there will be a huge War…China, Iran, Russia-(who we failed to bring in to our great detriment), Turkey,Pakistan etc all against the west. It will be so horrible, so much worse that the other wars. How can it be avoided with the stooges we let run things.

There really is no point. ‘o’ gave them a gazillion dollars, so they have the money they need to fund terror when and where they please.
These moslim creepy cheats, liars all, were not doing according to the “deal” when it was in “force,” because it was impossible to enforce and they weren’t going to keep their part of it.
This guy, and others like him, need to understand that moslims say one thing to the person they wish to deceive and another is going on in their brain…while they are laughing up their dirty sleeves at the gullibility of the hearer.
The filthy mullash had no intention of keeping the ‘deal.’ It was all a sham ‘o’ used to enrich his fellow moslims, to make sure that no one in iran ‘slandered the **fake** prophet.’ And to fund them to enrich all the materials they could so they could blow Israel off the map.
If the new demented fake prez (second after ‘o’ and under his thumb), renews the ‘deal,’ they will demand more gazillions and still keep on funding terror and building their military arsenal.

I know you are right. I know most people here know whats going on. SO WHY DON:T THESE LEADERS EVEN CATCH DRIFT?
somehistory says
I believe the leaders do know what’s going on. They don’t know the end result, but they have an end result in mind they believe they can make happen. Most of it is out of their control, however, and they are playing a dangerous game…although it is not really a game at all.

Time is running out to assure the initiation of threat level DEFCON 2.

I miss the good old days when we only had to worry about USSR nukes. I never could have dreamed I would say that. It is indeed an upside down world.
