This should surprise no one. Iran was found quite some time ago to be in violation of the nuclear deal. Then there is its own admission, as well as its recent antics, indicating it has gone rogue.
What is a big surprise, however, is how anyone could think Iran under the mullahs can be trusted. Western globalists have no idea what to do about Iran, but they nevertheless keep on attempting to enter into negotiations. They are subjugating themselves in vain, while Iranian power escalates regionally and globally.
“Iran threatens to block some UN nuclear site inspections as it urges Biden to undo sanctions,” RT, January 26, 2021:
Tehran has suggested that it may prevent some upcoming inspections of its nuclear facilities by the UN’s atomic agency as it tries to push US President Joe Biden into reversing the sanctions imposed by the Trump administration.
Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabiei said on Tuesday that, from February 19 onwards, the country would limit the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from conducting checks.
“Our law is very clear regarding this issue. But it does not mean Iran will stop other inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency,” he told a news conference.
It comes after the Iranian Parliament approved a bill in December forcing the government to suspend IAEA inspections and to step up uranium production if European signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal failed to lift sanctions on Iran.
In 2018, Donald Trump pulled the US out of the deal – officially called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – and reintroduced sanctions against Iran as part of his “maximum pressure” campaign.
On Tuesday the Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called for the new Biden administration to provide sanctions relief for Iran in return for Iranian compliance with the JCPOA.
“If these problems are solved, then we will come back to comply fully with the JCPOA. We will welcome the IAEA inspectors just as the protocol says,” Zarif said at a press conference, after a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov.
The JCPOA was signed in 2015 between Iran, Russia, the UK, France, Germany, the US, China and the EU….

With John Kerry greasing the wheels over the past four years the return to the status quo before Trump will be quick.

The heinous arrogant heinous terrible gall of the “mullah regime” of Iran is outstanding and devilish.
The weakness of feeble-minded treasonous President pretender Biben who will quickly cave in appeasement of this hostile Islamic tyranny of Iran only emboldens that belligerent Islamic nation.
