Republican lawmakers struggle to block the lifting of IRGC sanctions

The Washington-based Right Free Bacon reported Monday that Republicans in Congress are seeking a bill to prevent the lifting of sanctions against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and remove it from the list of so-called foreign terrorist organizations by Joe Biden’s Democratic government. They are part of a new nuclear deal with Tehran.

According to the report, two Republican senators, Brian Mast and Scott Perry, described the plan as “preventing terrorists from appeasing terrorists.”

The plan is designed to prevent the US government from removing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from the list of so-called foreign terrorist organizations as part of concessions to Iran under a new nuclear deal without congressional approval.

“Washington Free Bacon” claimed that Iran had pressured the Biden government to remove the IRGC from the black list, in line with the US fear of the regional influence of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while the IRGC Activists assassinate senior Trump administration officials and attack US forces in the region.

The US right-wing publication wrote that the US government’s attempt to lift the sanctions has met with opposition from Democratic and Republican foreign policy leaders.

The extremist American media claimed that US officials were concerned that such a concession, as part of a nuclear deal with Iran, would make Tehran bolder in supporting world terrorism and espionage operations. Russia is also earning billions of dollars in the deal, which has angered lawmakers.

According to the American media, this is one of several plans presented in the US Congress, which obliges the US government to consult with the Congress regarding a possible agreement with Iran.

According to the report, a separate plan presented to the House of Representatives last week requires the Biden government to explain how the role of easing sanctions on Iran will increase the capabilities of the Revolutionary Guards.

In the proposal of us and Scott Perry, it is stated that it is not possible to remove the name of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from the list of claims except with its approval in both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate.

“Not only is the president refusing to abide by his presidential oath and circumventing the US Constitution, but he is also putting Americans at risk to appease terrorists,” our senator told Free Bacon. Presenting this plan is to prevent him from making executive decisions on national security, such as removing known terrorist organizations from the list of terrorist organizations.

These anti-Iranian statements and plans come at a time when most politicians and officials around the world, including American politicians, believe that former US President Donald Trump’s theory of leaving the UN Security Council and reaching a stronger agreement with Iran through tough sanctions and a policy of maximum pressure is wrong. Was and failed.

On May 7, 2016, Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, which was approved by UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

Following Trump’s defeat in the 2020 US presidential election, Democratic nominee Joe Biden won the new White House presidency with the most electoral votes, and while acknowledging that Trump’s policy of maximum pressure has failed, he said he intends to bring Washington back to Burjam, but Despite its claims that it will return to Burjam if it wins the election, it has not yet taken any effective action.

The eighth round of talks on lifting the sanctions, which began on December 26 last year, entered a breathtaking phase on March 11, 2014, at the suggestion of the EU foreign policy chief, and the negotiators returned to their capitals for political consultations.

Most of the countries participating in the talks want the talks to conclude faster, but reaching a final agreement awaits US political decisions on a few remaining key issues.

The Islamic Republic of Iran says that if the American side acts realistically, it is possible to reach an agreement in Vienna. The agreement in Iran is a document that the sanctions will be lifted as much as possible and the region will also benefit from its implementation.

Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian wrote on his Twitter account on Monday: “If there is a pause in the Vienna talks, it is because of the American side’s extravagance.” Slowly

Amir Abdullahian added: “We will never go under the burden of America’s excessive demands.” If the White House is realistic, an agreement can be reached.
