The United States acknowledges the ineffectiveness of sanctions against Iran and Biden empty-handed

The eighth round of talks, which began in Vienna on Monday (December 27th), was temporarily suspended on the afternoon of Thursday (December 30th) due to the New Year and the closure of the Coburg Hotel.
A senior US State Department official has acknowledged the ineffectiveness of sanctions against Iran, acknowledging that all options for sanctions have been used.
The unnamed US official’s interview with The New Yorker at the same time as the Vienna talks shows that US officials’s hands are more open than ever to Iran and its resistance to the failed campaign. Thus, they have resorted to tactics such as threatening to neutralize Borjam to put pressure on Iran at the negotiating table, as well as forming coalitions in order to gain more points and drop the ball on Iranian soil.
The senior US State Department official acknowledged that the sanctions had clearly not worked.
“Tehran has accelerated its nuclear and missile programs, instead of retreating under Trump pressure,” wrote Robin Wright, a well-known American analyst and New Yorker author acknowledging the technical advances in Iran’s nuclear deterrent and peaceful defense programs.
He acknowledged that US President Joe Biden, with the exception of diplomacy, had few deterrent tools other than diplomacy, despite US officials’ speculation in recent weeks about the use of “other options” and the actions of Israeli officials and their rhetoric. Iran has, and even the option of intimidation is not an attractive or effective option in the long run.

Officials from the Biden administration, including Biden’s secretary to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and White House, Pentagon and Pentagon spokesmen, and Robert Mali, the US’s special envoy to Iran and chief negotiator in non-aligned talks. Directly between Iran and the United States, they have repeatedly talked about other options in a psychological and media war, and the American media, along with the US officials, have been speculating about this.
The New Yorker even acknowledged the US use of intimidation and inefficiency options against Iran, and wrote that the US government had also used ineffective intimidation options against Iran, but senior officials were skeptical about the effectiveness of these tactics.
US officials acknowledge that these measures are more to reassure allies in the region rather than intimidate Iran, and that Tehran is not afraid.

The New Yorker website stated that after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, Iran has focused on developing missiles with longer range, greater accuracy and greater power, and wrote that Iran’s progress in the field of missiles has affected both its allies and enemies.
Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, commander of the US Central Command (Centcom), has once again acknowledged the accuracy of Iran’s missiles, saying Assad’s lesson is that Iranian missiles have become an immediate threat beyond its nuclear program. In Assad, they targeted almost anywhere they wanted. Now they can strike effectively in the vastness and depth of the Middle East. Iran can strike accurately and in large numbers.
This acknowledgment of the ineffectiveness of sanctions and the empty hands of the Biden administration comes as Democrats, who have been critical of their departure from the hardliner and Republican Donald Trump administration and see it as the worst foreign policy decision in a decade, are practically all Failed policies have tested pressure and sanctions against Iran.

The United States unilaterally and illegally withdrew from the IAEA in May 2009 and imposed the toughest sanctions on Iran, and the Biden Democratic government, despite repeating the slogan of returning to the IAEA, has not yet taken concrete steps to return its country to the nuclear deal; An action that Tehran now wants to verify and re-guarantee to prevent breach of the covenant.

The Biden administration’s Treasury Department released a report on October 17, after months of reviewing the sanctions system, showing that it, like its predecessors, saw sanctions as a tool to advance what it called the US national interest, and sought to modernize it.

According to Reuters, the US Treasury Department issued recommendations to improve the application of economic sanctions and make it a more effective tool in US foreign policy.

Hill also reported on October 20 that sanctions against individuals and other countries as a tool of US foreign policy have increased tenfold over the past two decades.

According to IRNA, according to statistics provided by Hill, the sanctions imposed by the US Treasury Department in 37 separate programs against individuals and countries have increased from 912 sanctions in 2000 to 9,421 sanctions in 2021.

According to the report, this statistic is only about sanctions imposed by the US Treasury Department and has nothing to do with sanctions imposed by other US government agencies such as the State Department, the Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice and Homeland Security.

The Wall Street Journal also wrote in a report: “Excessive use of sanctions by previous US administrations and their ineffectiveness has led to a review of this policy.”

The continuation of the Vienna talks in the eighth round has been suspended due to the New Year holidays, and these talks are scheduled to continue from January 3 (January 13).

Ali Bagheri Kani, Iran’s chief negotiator, says that the more seriously our opponent is prepared to lift sanctions and the more serious it is to accept the mechanisms envisaged by the Islamic Republic of Iran in lifting sanctions, especially in the two issues of verification and guarantee, the shorter we can be. Let’s reach an agreement.

He stressed that if an agreement is reached, the United States, the violator of Borjam, must first lift the sanctions, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, after conducting the verification, will take nuclear action within the framework of the agreement.

After meeting with the other side, the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister praised the negotiation process and told reporters that the talks were going well.

Russia’s chief negotiator had previously said before the Iranian negotiator that there were factors and preconditions for the success of the talks and that the chances of reaching an agreement were high.

On the eve of the New Year, Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s representative to international organizations in Vienna, wished to revive the UN Security Council in 2022 and wrote on his Twitter account: “I sincerely wish all parties to the Vienna talks and all supporters of the nuclear deal.” Watch the full recovery of Borjam early next year around the world.

The ball is in America’s court now that Rob (Robert) Mali, the US government’s special envoy for Iran, is in Vienna for the Iran-P5 + 1 talks, which, according to the New Yorker, is a long experience in the Middle East (West Asia). has it.
Will the 58-year-old representative of the US government and Blinken’s classmate in Paris, despite all his media coverage, be able to compensate for the necessary guarantees requested by Iran from the Biden administration, which has been calling for a return to Borjam since the beginning of his presidency? To discredit Washington in the international arena, and just as the Barack Obama administration witnessed the signing of the nuclear deal in 2015, now sees its country return to this international agreement?
