Iran laughs at the empty hands of the United States with its winning cards – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news
Mehr News Agency, International Group: The New York Times analyzed how the wrong decisions of former US President Donald Trump and then-current President Joe Biden have become a nightmare for Washington and Tel Aviv.
According to the American newspaper, the general judgment now is that Trump’s decision in 2018 to unilaterally withdraw from the UN Security Council was made with the encouragement of then US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; One of the most foolish, short-sighted, and unconstructive decisions since the Cold War has been in the field of American national security.
In the scandal of this decision, it is enough that the Zionist newspaper “Haaretz” quotes “Moshe Ya’alon” who was the Minister of War of the Zionist regime at the time of the signing of Borjam; As bad as the deal was, Trump’s decision to step down was far worse than it was at Netanyahu’s encouragement. This is considered to be the biggest mistake of the last 10 years towards Iran.
Haaretz also quoted Gaddy Eisenkot, a senior Israeli commander, as saying at the time of the withdrawal: “This move has freed Iran from all restrictions and brought its nuclear program to a much more advanced level.”
Now, during the Vienna talks, Iran has distanced itself from the commitments it made in response to US and European partners; It calls for the lifting of all sanctions, a guarantee that Washington will not repeat the same mistake, and a verification of US promises.
The New York Times writes: Trump and Pompeo seem to have gone wrong because of this arrogance. If they were wise, they would at least have offered Iran an extension of the agreement to 25 years instead of 15 years in exchange for lifting the sanctions, but in return, they demanded a change in Iran’s behavior, and the other side realized that Washington would never lift the sanctions. . It was they who chose to sell oil to China and increase enrichment. Contrary to claims, Trump and Pompeo had no alternative plans for Iran.
Ultimately, Trump left the situation to Biden, and he, in turn, played badly because instead of immediately lifting the sanctions imposed by Trump, he became embroiled in a futile struggle over who should take the lead to return to the BJP and then There was also the issue of unplanned departure from Afghanistan, which had negative consequences for the credibility of his government.
The New York Times writes: “On the other hand, Israel is urging Biden to show its risk-taking to the Iranians and to resort to a military threat, while the Democratic president of the United States knows that the slightest hint of this is on the eve of Christmas.” It will have serious consequences for the energy market. Iran is also aware of the inability of the United States, and from behind its playing cards, to the other side, which is empty-handed; He laughs.
For now, Biden’s only hope is to bring China and Russia with him, but only as long as he talks about Taiwan or Ukraine; One should not expect such a vain expectation.
