🔽 Iranian FM statement in response to the statement of the #G7 foreign ministers
The Iranian Foreign Ministry has condemned the accusations made in a statement of the foreign ministers of the Group of Seven against the Islamic Republic of #Iran as baseless and meddlesome.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry has condemned the accusations made in a statement of the foreign ministers of the Group of Seven against the Islamic Republic of #Iran as baseless and meddlesome.
🔽 The Foreign Ministry described the #G7 statement as implying the unilateral approach of western parties who violate regional & international peace, stability & security & are trying to impose the group’s will on independent nations, multilateral frameworks & int’ cooperation.
🔽It is regrettable that the member states of G7 have leveled unfounded allegations against Iran’s peaceful nuclear program instead of holding the United States accountable for its clear violation of international law due to its unjustified & unilateral withdrawal from the #JCPOA

Auch, wenn die Narrative & Argumente der Lobbyisten der #IslamicRepublic raffinierter werden, können einige Grund-Narrative so veranschaulicht werden, dass Leser* & Zuschauer* erste Warnhinweise in den Aussagen von vermeintlichen „Iran-Experten*“ erkennen. #No2IRLobby (1)
Doch worauf zielen diese Narrative genau ab? Darauf, die IR als das kleinere Übel darzustellen oder das Suchen einvernehmlicher Strategien als Gefahrenabwendung zu verkaufen. Ein Übel, mit dem westliche Politik eben verhandeln muss, (2)
um Schlimmeres für das eigene und andere Länder, aber auch für das iranische Volk (!) zu vermeiden. Wenn westl. Länder dann zu pseudo-kompromissbereiten Vertragspartnern werden, stellt das in der Außenwahrnehmung eine regelrechte Legitimation der IRI durch westl. Staaten dar; (3)
Herr @HillelNeuer spricht hier im Kontext der @UN_HRC vor und benutzt eine sehr deutliche Sprache zu den Verbrechen der #IRI. Die Frage ist, ob solche Aktionen auch endlich politische Konsequenzen mit sich ziehen. #IranRevoIution (1)
Die #IRGCterrorists sind dabei, sich mit ihrem zerschnittenen Image abzufinden & wirken nicht mehr so stark wie früher darauf erpicht, dem Westen zu gefallen. Der nun offene Anschluss an 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇸🇦🇧🇾kann auch als Drohgebärde verstanden werden: (2)
„Wollt ihr uns nicht, suchen wir uns andere Freunde. Seid ihr nicht unsere Freunde, verliert ihr das Bisschen Einfluss auf uns, das ihr vielleicht noch auf uns hattet.“ 🇪🇺🇩🇪, aber auch Biden haben derzeit keine passende Antwort. Alte, aber kaum bewährte Strategien (3)

Relacje między Arabią Saudyjską i Iranem zostały zerwane w 2016 r. po tym, gdy tłum wtargnął do ambasady tej pierwszej w Teheranie. Doszło do reakcji Irańczyków (potem aresztowanych) na egzekucję lidera saudyjskich szyitów i dalszych 46, społeczności dyskryminowanej w A.S. 2/21
Było to wyrazem sprzeczności z różną metryką-od podziału na sunnitów i szyitów sprzed ponad 1,4 tys. lat po (powiązaną z nim!) różnicę ideologiczno-polityczną między dynastyczną monarchią a postrewolucyjną republiką czy w końcu konkurencja na rynkach surowców energetycznych. 3/21

Death of a Myth
We are experiencing the death throes of the #US unipolar hegemony over large parts of world. theamericanconservative.com/death-of-a-myt…
"Until citizens begin to realize the magnitude of their govt’s policy deceptions, it will become increasingly difficult to understand the #US changing global position & adjust to the effects of the growing negative perception of our country held by many people around the world."
Since World War II, & particularly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US was the dominant & unrivaled world power. Instead of being a peacekeeper & honest “world's policeman,” the US has increasingly been a destabilizing bully.

Der 18-jährige Reza Pahlavi verließ am 21. Juni 1978, unmittelbar nach dem Abitur und fast 8 Monate vor der Revolution, den #Iran Richtung Texas, um seine Pilotenausbildung bei der US Air Force zu absolvieren.
Vor seiner Einreise nach Amerika machte er einen kurzen Zwischenstopp in England und traf sich dort mit der britischen Königsfamilie.

Iraq & regional stability are interdependent: reg. tensions play out in Iraq. Iraq’s instability can spill over & fuel regional tensions.

An important reminder: the process is not over.
Parties to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (#JCPOA) continue to express their intention to revive the deal.
Though it seems unlikely today, parties were very close to reaching an agreement in March earlier this year.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine blew the #JCPOA negotiations off the map, and talks lost their momentum.
When the parties reconvened, some of the gaps that the two sides thought they had narrowed or closed had reappeared or even widened.

There is no confirmation that Iran has accepted the EU proposal on the safeguards probe, but in the current Iran reply there is no more mention of it. This could be a signal that Iran is ready to move ahead on a deal, but it surely also depends on what their other demands are. 2/
Looking at the negotiations over the past 16 months, I would also not be surprised if Iran now pressurises the U.S. and the other parties into giving in more on sanctions and economic guarantees, and then reverts back and asks for more on safeguards probe. Tough call. 3/

Senior EU official on #JCPOA talks: The current talks in Vienna are aimed at closing the text presented by @JosepBorrellF on July 21. The space for negotiation has been exhaused. We are discussing 4-5 "technical issues". We are "fine-tuning" them. #ViennaTalks 1/
On prospect of success: "I think there is a real possibility of having an agreement but it is not going to be easy." The sticking point on the IRGC delisting has been resolved. It has been agreed that it will be discussed in the future once the US and Iran can meet directly. 2/
The sticking point on guarantees has also been resolved. Iran is no longer demanding political guarantees. "We are addressing this concern [the guarantees] in the text in quite a substantial way. Iran is happy with what is included in the text on guarantees." 3/
